Default Bondurant vs. Spring Mountain?

Looking for feedback from those whom have personally attended performance driving school courses "at both" Bondurant and Spring Mountain. What are the pro's and con's of each facility?

I am not looking for opinions, just feedback from those whom have personally attended courses at both facilities. Thank you in advance.

I did the Z06 experience in 2004 in the C-5 version at Bondurant. First class all the way. Excellent instruction and courses. I intend to do it again someday.

Customer service is what it came down to for me. Spring Mountain had a great staff staying on top of things and when I got there it continued. So I was very happy with Spring Mountain and it seams that 7 out of 10 people have gone that direction. Its worth it either way but, do the 3rd day!

Enjoy!

I have gone to Bondurant several times. Last time Bob himself took me out in a ZR1 and did some hot laps. We then switched seats and he provided some one on one instruction. I have always had a good experience there. Bob is awesome.

Bondurant is a first class place for sure, I did the 3 day Grand-Prix school in December and learned a great deal and had a very pleasant experience. I am sure spring mountain is good also. Good luck and have fun wherever you go

I have attended both and enjoyed both. Instruction was excellent at all of the courses. Spring mountain would be my choice based on the facility and track.

It would be hard to go wrong with either choice, if you have travel or other considerations making one location more convenient than the other.
