I was at Spring Mountain October 14 and 15. What an amazing experience the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School is, not only for new C7 Corvette owners (I'm 72 years old with two knee replacements), but surely for anyone with a desire to learn all about high performance driving.
The whole Spring Mountain Team are true professionals dedicated to your safety while determined to teach you the skills necessary to gain confidence driving a world class performance automobile at racing speeds. For me, a life long sports car driver for over 50 years starting with an MGA in 1964, the experience far exceeded my expectations.
I also learned, in a fun environment, so much more about the capabilities and features of the C7. My friend Paul, not yet a Corvette owner, came along as my guest to share the experience (and the condo and the great food) and have the opportunity to do laps as a passenger with the instructors. I returned home, reluctantly of course, and perhaps for the first time drove my C7 with the respect and appreciation it fully deserves.
When I think about the total package and the chance to drive for two days the School's beautifully prepared 2015 and 2016 C7s on a superb race track with talented instructors guiding me every step of the way I realize what a great deal this is even without the discount (thank you GM!) for buying a new Corvette. And you can record the final afternoon of driving on a 16 GB SD card in the C7's PDR. Yes, as others have done, I might be back there real soon!
