(Pahrump, Nev.) January 2007 – The 193-acre Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch featuring a challenging, 3.5 mile purpose-built track, is now taking reservations for its 2007 schedule at the acclaimed Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School, located in Pahrump, Nevada, just 45 minutes west of the lights of the famous Las Vegas strip.  

The Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School provides an opportunity for students to drive a high-performance Corvette Z06 or a C6 Z51, the exclusive cars of the driving program.  With between 405 & 505 HP and 400ft. lbs. of torque, six speed manual transmission, powerful four wheel disc ABS brakes and standard active handling and traction control system, the Corvette makes the ultimate in training vehicles.

The Level I and Level II programs have limited class sizes and minimum amounts of classroom briefings.  One of the features of the Driving School is the Corvette itself, as it serves as the actual classroom, with two-way radios installed in each car for maximum seat time on the track and instant on-track feed back.  Students will log up to 300 miles in their Corvettes during the three-day Level I Corvette program alone.  Corvette School training takes place on the 2.2 mile track, which offers a wide variety of corners and elevation changes that keep the Corvette in constant transition, all making for an enjoyable, safe and exciting track to drive.

 Dave Petrie, General Manager of Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, comments on the technique that sets the school apart from other forms of driver education.  “At Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School, we are proud to present Visual Scanning® techniques in all of our classes.  Your eyes control everything you do, and their trained use is essential to fully control your vehicle.  In any form of motorsports, the terms ‘smoothness’ and ‘balance’ are often used to describe a professional. The smoothest drivers in the world are those who have perfected the technique of Visual Scanning, and this technique is the basis of the education Spring Mountain provides for our drivers.  And, there is simply no comparison to Spring Mountain’s driving exercises, which are extremely intense and leave the students with a new understanding of how to interact with their vehicle.”

The Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School offers several driving programs with their high-performance fleet of 23 Corvettes, including the most popular three-day Level I Corvette Program, two-day Level I Weekend program, two-day Level II Program, one-day Performance Highlights program, and one-day Car Control Clinics, with prices starting at $850 for one-day programs.
