Updates? Did you make it to Spring Mountain mid-May as you'd planned?
Yep! A terrific facility and great instructors. Nice introduction to the Z06's track worthiness given my decade away from the track. As luck would have it, Ron Fellows was at the facility and stopped by our graduation for a short Q&A session and the class photo...
Ron - middle between the ladies, Richy - far left back row, me - far right customer back row.
Funny side note to Spring Mtn, our head Instructor was Richy Hearns, he was my SCCA License Instructor at Bob Bondurant in 1996 just before he got his seat in IndyCar. Small world as they say.
The trip home turned out to be a 3450 mile run from Bowling Green back to Chelan. Z06 is now well broken in.
Sounds like your whole trip was an awesome experience and a great way to get those first 500 miles out of the way plus another 3,000+ to boot. I'm heading to Spring Mountain in three weeks and really looking forward to it - plus a nice road trip back up the California coast as an added bonus.

I have no doubt that you will have a great time at Spring Mtn. and the drive up the coast should be fun - although maybe a little slow this time of year do to vacationer/RV traffic.
I decided to save my coastal drive for my return trip from Laguna Seca in September - taking the Z06 down for the IMSA races and a little socializing.

Aaron, I hope your plan is not going on highway 1 through Big Sur. Hwy 1 is closed at Mud Creek for possibly as much as a year. They have had several slides there recently. It is between Ragged Point and Gorda. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/201...ndslide-grows/

I was down in that area for Christmas and it was clear. Not so anymore.
I hope this helps and I am sorry to highjack this thread.
BTW... you both have awesome Z06s!
Good info for both of us I'm sure!
I use many state Road Condition App's when I plan my travels. I use the Trip Planning online application Furkot.com. The CalTrans App does show the road closures you noted.

Can anyone attend this? I have a client I should visit in Monterey so would be a good excuse to go down there.
