Bragg-Smith Update

Hello everyone,

I was talking with Bragg-Smith again yesterday. We now have 10 people signed up, and as luck would have it, Bragg-Smith has 10 Corvettes. If any more people sign up, they will be in Camaro's.

Thanks to all have signed up this past week. We'll see you in April!

Alan

I did this two years ago, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

- You will come away with a much better appreciation for the capabilities of the C5.

- You will come away a much better driver.

- You will have an absolute blast!!!

The instructors are patient and kind, so you don't have to worry about the skills you bring to the table. The track is short but very entertaining.

I know that this seems a little pricey but it is completely and totally worth it. Do It!!!

Re: Bragg-Smith Update (snide)

Any idea on what the total cost of the trip would be? Are you guys going and staying together as a group throughout the trip?

I have a group of 4 people going to Bragg-Smith Level 1 on March 25, 26 and 27. I am locked into these date because of time constaints.
I have talked to Just J at one of the Corvette lunchens about the Bragg-Smith School, it sounds like everyone will have a great time and learn many driving skills.

Haven't really thought about that yet. People who have taken this course recommend that people stay in Pahrump since Vegas is an hour's drive away, and the last thing you want to do after a day at the track is drive an hour into Vegas. Vegas is (can be) pretty cheap so I would imagine that Pahrump isn't expensive. Airfare shouldn't be more than $300.

I suggest you take a look at Expedia or another travel site to get an idea of airfare and hotel and make your decision based on the information that you find.

Hope this helps.

I'll be going in March and staying at the Nugget in Pahrump (based on reccommendations I received here) at $48 a night. I'll move to Vegas after class is over for a couple days R&R...
