ZR1 Program Receives Rave Reviews


Our inagural
Ron Fellows Performance Driving School for new ZR1 owners was held last week at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch to postive reviews. Last month we took delivery on two screaming fast new ZR1’s, with two more expected to be delivered in November. Pictured below are the students and instructors from Spring Mountain’s first ZR1 school: L-R Steve Robertson, Bob Owen, and Shawn Owen, all from Los Altos, CA and Roy Sinor - Tulsa, OK. Also pictured are Barry Yost and Jordan Yost, Instructors.
 
Ron Sinor, one of our ZR1 program students from Tulsa, Oklahoma, writes about his experience in the Corvette forums, “I was fortunate enough to be one of the four students in the first ZR1 driving course, it comes with the car. I wanted to get the maximum I could from my experience, I think I did. …I will tell you the schedule, the instructors, the employees, the owner, the food, the cars, the track, the club house are all second to none, and the classes were excellent. … I left a better driver for sure, more aware of my car and its capabilities. …The ZR1 class offered plenty of seat time in both the Z06 and ZR1. You will leave understanding the difference in the two cars with exceptional training behind you.”
 
Read Roy’s entire post in the forums.
We are proud to have been chosen as one of only two authorized training facilities in the country to offer specialized driving programs to new Corvette ZR1 owners.
