Default Spring Mountain Corvette School

I just wanted to make a quick post about my incredible experience at Spring Mountain Motorsports Club in November. I bought the 2-day racing school program that was offered with my new 2017 Grand Sport.
J.J. (Justin Johnson - NASCAR) and all of the instructors were patient, professional and polite throughout the entire 2 day driving school. I was on the east track (2.1 mile course) and the guides really let us rip on the 2nd day of the school. Wet pad, oval course, braking/shifting, apex practice, etc were all educational and very hands on. Really enjoyed the fact that the instructors aren't in the car with us - but on a headset, which allows us a bit more freedom without distraction. Everything was top notch and the facility was well kept and clean. Condos were very nice as well. For all you guys on the fence that were wondering about the school........ just do it. Well worth the trip and learned quite a bit. Met a lot of nice people too.

We also did a few other activities and spent an extra day or two there since my wife hadn't seen vegas before.

Celine Dion - her voice is even better in person. Amazing.
PAWN Stars - the pawn shop from the history channel
Shelby Museum Saw some new prototypes, cool cars.
Marco Island Kayak Tour - Fun stuff
Corsa Rally - Witnessed a few of the Koenigsegg's that broke the world record and the Corsa rally car show at the ARIA resort.
Red Rock Canyon was beautiful... would be fun to have a race there.
Spring Mountain Motorsports - Sign up... great time.

All in all... great experience.
