Call and ask. I'm sure they will tell you or give you the option to request a certain track if they are running multiple classes.

Glad you said something. I thought it was just me, but this was my experience as well. I booked several months ago and called back about three weeks ago to inquire about the special when I heard about it here. I got the same reaction from my rep who said she would put me down for it then abruptly ended the call by basically hanging up. I was bothered somewhat, but decided to write it off. Then, last Friday I received a form email from the same sales rep confirming the reservation and giving me additional check in instructions. I replied with an acknowledgement and again inquired about the special given the reaction I got during the phone call. To date, no response.

The special is regarding an incentive to do the program during the summer months as going when it's 100-115 degrees keeps attendance down. They are offering an extra night's stay (2 instead of one), $50 off your purchase of apparel or souvenirs in their shop (must spend at least $50 to get the deal), a free dinner on the night between your two day session, and a 16 GB SD card for the PDR. Regarding getting the special even though you booked it before the offer was in effect, I believe they give the perks to every who is there for the summer now because last year people who booked before hand weren't to happy when some were getting dinner for free and they weren't. The apparel is pretty cool and reasonable priced.

Cool. I guess October won't qualify.

Headed out this Sunday for the 6/19 - 6/20 class. I gotta laugh because the weather has bee near perfect (but windy) the month of June. Now my class is upcoming and there is high pressure parked right over the southwest. Gonna be 110+ next week. I hope me or the tires don't melt.

Just got back from the owners class on the 16-17th, and I must say that the Spring Mountain facility really is a great place. Everything from the track condition, condo's, food, classroom, and instructors were all top notch.
Even with the 107-110 degree days, the staff took great care of us, provided cold drinks and snacks, and kept us in the AC as much as possible. The cars performed really well, and as far as I know only a couple of Z06's that were '16 models had issues with the heat. The grand sports that I used ran flawlessly all weekend long, never had problems with overheating even when staying at the top of the rev range.

In March the dinner was salad bar or sandwich only so I went into town for both evening meals. I spent $11.50 including tip the first night and $13.00 the second night and got good meals both nights. Mexican one night and American meat and veggies the second night. Pahrump is not exactly expensive.

We went right to the first light and took a right on Winery Rd and ate at the Winery it is named for. We had excellent food and service. You eat two breakfasts and lunches there so was a nice change. We went into a restaurant at one of the casinos but did not like the cigarette smell.
