Ron Fellows flyer from 2023 C8 purchase
How does a new owner of a C8 be informed about the class as GM Canada says nothing and tells a new owner nothing ? If I didn't read the Forum I would not have a clue. Did your dealer tell you, did Gm write you etc??? It kind of sounds like the model that some get and others have never heard of.
thanks
thanks
It is only for the 1st new owner of a 2020-2023 C8.
The flyer says the class is discounted from ~USD$3695 to USD$1000 (subsidized by GM)
Here's the flyer that came with my USA C8

Just got back. Had a great time and learned a lot. Since I live in California and am retired I was able to take almost any date they had an opening. I got a date two weeks out as someone canceled. In fact there was an open seat in our class. So if you can handle it, ask about taking a standby date instead of having to wait 6 months or whatever the current wait time is.

They had been running 2 classrooms at a time. Now they're increasing to 3 at a time. 18 students each. ( I think that's already in the schedule.) Given how much work is done by the instructors and mechanics behind the scenes, I think they do an outstanding job doing this many.

The Holiday Inn Express in Pahrump is nice enough, surely the nicest hotel in the city (though I would bet some of the snowbird RV's parked there would outclass the hotel). It's where you might end up, our third-class group most were in the hotel. It was actually nice to get off property and out to explore the booming metropolis of Pahrump.
I'll be going back for Level 2 sometime next year, no doubt.

I went three weeks ago and it is a fantastic experience as everyone says. The quality of the instructors is the biggest advantage in my opinion. Over the two days I probably interacted with 5-6 instructors. I assumed that one would be better than the others but they were all very professional and great instructors. Facilities are great and they cover a lot in a two day period. I was the only person in my class to order the 36x24 acrylic poster from the professional photographer. It is pricey at $500 but well worth it in my opinion. It arrived a few days ago and I love it and will allow me to remember this great class.

I did Levels 1 and 2 back in 05-06 before the condos were built, before the Ron Fellows owner's classes started, and everyone stayed in a hotel, which was very comfortable. It's only a short drive to the track.
That is the one and only thing either of us could complain about. Everything else about the class, instructors, and Spring Mt. facility is 1st class.
