Has anyone experienced Spring Mountain knowing they would never see a track?

Love the responses!
We'd like to think, and based on feedback from this forum, and our students here, that it not only changes the way you drive, and negotiate turns, it's a great time! with lots of new memories made.
like some have said already, for sure try and "do" vegas after the school, lol.
you want your focus to be on the track and classroom sessions, so you get the most out of it!
cheers!

I did it and would do it again. Well worth it.

The "blind windshield exercise" reinforces the fact that a driver should always be looking at where they want the car to go, not necessarily out of the windshield.
A good (and sometimes tragic) example of the downside of windshield fixation is when a driver loses control and departs the pavement. If that driver is staring at the trees, they'll likely hit them. They should be looking in the direction of avoiding the trees.

Agree!!! I ride a lot of miles per year and I really think my motorcycle experience helped me a lot in this class

The class was great, well worth it. I bought a Z06 knowing i will never track the car but I do enjoy some spirited driving!

Like everyone has said. Great course with practical information for daily driving. I wasn't sure what to expect but had a blast even though I may never hit the track again.

With that being said, has anyone experienced the 2 day course knowing they won't be racing their C7's at the track? It doesn't seem like a bad deal at $1,000 for two days which I believe includes one overnight stay. Did anyone find the training beneficial for every day street use i.e defensive driving?
Thanks.

Sounds like a lot of people have attended this with rave reviews. I want to attend in 2018!
Is there a "better" time of year to go from a weather perspective?

I went last October, perfect weather. I spent 2 days on the track and my wife spent 2 days in the sun. Add a couple days in Vegas at the pool/spa and you will have one of the greatest experiences ever.
