Default Re: 3 days at Ron Fellows Corvette driving school

I went to Ron Fellows last September for a two day Corvette driving school as a result of buying a new Z06 in 2016. Part of the purchase deal is that GM underwrites about 2/3 the cost of the school, so I paid only $1,000 for two days on the track, including meals and a one night stay there. My experience was great as Vette73 said. Quality cars and instructors, and for the school I went to you drive what you own: If you have a base Stingray with a stick shift, you drive one of those. If you have a Z06 automatic (like mine), you drive one of those. If you buy a new Corvette I would strongly urge you to go. With the power of the new Z06. I felt it was extremely important to spend time on track with instructors to allow me to explore the car's limits. (My exploration of limits was a long way from the actual limits). It is hard to do so on the street with these cars. I would recommend the school to anyone interested in Corvettes and track driving.--Bob

Gave a poster-sized picture like the one below to the grandkids for Xmas. This is me:

Right--they supply the cars--I just showed up. But as noted it was a Z06 automatic like mine, but with a Z07 package. Mine is still Long Beach Red, not a Z07 and not quite as track-competent as the one I drove at Spring Mountain. But still fun--Bob
