Spring Mountain Questions
So just signed up for the Ron Fellows driving school the weekend of August 11, can't wait. Anyone else going this weekend?
Anybody who has done it before I was curious if you guys purchased the additional insurance? From the videos I've seen it seems pretty structured and going off the track/crashing seems highly unlikely. I guess your're responsible for the first $8000 but you can buy down to $2000. Then there is the $150 alignment fee for going off the track (seriously!)
Anyways any advice would be great. Also any places to eat/recommendations on things to do while there are welcome.

The insurance is for people that don' t listen to what you are taught. After the first day I was nervous because of the challenge, but the following day the lessons started to jell and I started going faster and faster safely. The people have had problems and gone off the track are those that think they know it all and don't listen.

For $8K, I took my chances. Kind of a strange thing to buy $6K of insurance. My biggest recommendation is to watch sone PDR videos of peoples runs there to get an idea of the track and what you are facing. Wish I had spent more time learning the corners first.
