Ready to Rev? High-Performance Driving Classes Resume
Track-oriented performance driving classes for Corvette drivers are reopening for the summer.
If you are lucky enough to own a 2020 Corvette, we envy you. That said, we also are happy to report that performance driving classes have resumed in some of the most noteworthy driving schools. Both the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School and Bondurant High Performance Driving School have kicked off their summer driving programs.
Even the most seasoned Corvette owner can benefit from instruction from the pros. Whether it is getting the highest caliber of performance and handling with the eight-gen sports car; or just getting some sweet track time–it is always an opportunity to maximize your skills on and off the track.
Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Nevada offers classes a “8th Generation Corvette Owners School.” The thrust of the two-day classes being aimed at first timers.
The first program took place earlier this month at Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club. Eleven students participated and were able to take their ‘Vettes full throttle around the stunning racing facility.
“This experience was absolutely epic!” said participant Mike Davenport. “Coming out here as a first time customer was completely different and it was amazing how much drive time I got and how much I learned. Come to learn, even if you have driving experience, and just come with an open mind that they are going to teach you stuff. And most importantly, come to have fun!”
But the fun isn’t just limited to those lucky C8 owners. The Seventh Generation Corvette Owners School is also available, but will be ending in December.
Arizona’s Bondurant High Performance Driving School also restarted its summer courses. While many associate the program with more mopar- and SRT-oriented rides, it offers a great deal to Corvette enthusiasts. (After all, Bob Bondurant was the recipient of 1959’s “Corvette Driver of the Year” award. The school is offering major discounts on classes such as High Performance Driving, Advanced Road Racing, and more.
“COVID may have closed the gates for a short time, but behind the scenes we were working hard to get ready for a grand reopening to welcome enthusiasts back,” says Mike McGovern, chief instructor. “We’re ready to release that pent-up energy of our fans and the community with an experience that’s better than ever.”
