Hi all,
Just want to post real quick...they are starting construction on the main highway that leads to our little town..they are blasting at the mountain pass to widen to 4 lanes, and will mainly be done around the noon hour. there could be up to 30 minute, to more than an hour delays.
it shouldn't affect anyone coming from vegas early, or leaving later, but if you do have to leave early to catch a flight, could delay a bit.
as their press release states, call 511 for up to date info. There is an alternate route to Las Vegas, via US 95 north, in case they are closed, however, it does add about 40 minutes to the drive...
they start on Monday, the 24th..

It depends - if you are in the fast group of 10, that will be part of your last on track session; if you are a more modest driver (in the slower group of 10), then it will be classroom stuff.

Ok, had a good trip past weekend. Learned a lot about my Z06 what it can do on track, track session with instructor showing how to do it was very enlightening! I was also part of the group with last track session at 3 to 3:30. Since I already had mentioned it to the lead instructor that I would need to leave early so he had my certificate folder ready at 3:30. Same with the photographer. Left Spring Mountain at 3:30 and was at rental return in Vegas at 4:30 and at airport before 5. Had enough time to grab a bite and beer before my boarding started at 6:30.
Thanks everyone for the inputs!

Hey, can you help me get in touch with fellow student from my COS class? In the hurry to grab stuff forgot to exchange numbers.

You're not likely to leave Spring Mountain before 16:00, then an hour to Vegas (DO NOT SPEED after class, the local gendarme know exactly when class lets out), an hour to drop off your rental and then the bus back to airport, then if you're pre-cleared by the TSA... This is all predicated on nothing going awry. If..., IF you're lucky you may just make it. I was there this past weekend and the class ended on Sunday so traffic to Vegas was at a minimum and my wife and I could have made a 19:00 flight back to Philly but the best return flight we could find when making our plans departed Vegas at 23:00 for the red eye back; non-stop.

Good luck.
