Default Has anyone received an invitation to go to the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School

I got mine the other day and I think I'm going to check it. It came in a nice yellow box with a collector's edition book. I also got a one year membership for the national Corvette Museum. I just wanted to see if anyone else got this or if I just special.

Everyone gets one; should clarify the ORIGINAL owner gets one

Jim - don't hold me to it, as got mine about 4 months after purchase of my 2015 FELINA. My purchase was a Christmas present to myself last year, and think I received the yellow box in April. But, if you have the VIN of your car you can call Spring Mountain and setup your school.

It takes 4 or 5 months. BUT don't wait call the school they fill up quickly. Ron Fellows has your vin straight from GM. Call them and get going.

How long do you have after purchase? I've been at least 6 months, and will likely just call, but am not sure if I have 6 months, a year, no limit, or ????

call the school and get scheduled - then, maybe call the NCM and check on package? or maybe, that is a question Tadge could answer?

Took delivery last July - have not received anything yet. I don't think it matters.....as long as you have a VIN and are the original owner + within a year, just call and sign up. Still, how slow can they be?! I would think that they SHOULD have a target of notification of the offer within a month of having taken delivery.

I got mine a couple of months after I took delivery, however when I had my VIN as the car was being built I call the school and set up my time. All you need is the VIN and the school has a record of the VIN and you can schedule your class. Well worth the time and money.

took delivery 9/16/15. Nothing in the mail yet. But I am all set for Spring Mountain late March. All you need is a VIN to get the discount and a credit card to lock it in.

Default Spring Mountain

You have one year from the day the vehicle was delivered to the original owner, naturally you must be the original owner. The cost is $3,695. for the Z06 and $2,500. for the Stingray. With the purchase of either car, the cost is $1,000.00. If you bought a Stingray, you will drive a Z51 at the school, and if you bought the Z06 you will drive a Z06/Z07 package with Pilot SS tires and not the Cup 2 tires. I went last month and while there gathered this information for other club members that want to go. Call Jennifer Shaw at the school and she will explain it all to you.

It does, BUT I called Spring Mountain and they got mine extended. Bought my Z51 in Feb 2014, registered for Spring Mountain in May 15 and attended in Aug 15.

Has anyone actually done it?? I'm very seriously thinking about going. Just kind of want to know if it is worth it. I'm guessing that the $1000 is just for the class and I would have to get my own accommodations. This would be a awesome time to hang out with my 16 year old son. I know he would be able to drive but just a nice way to spend some time together. Actually I wonder how old you have to be to do it. Anyways thanks for all the information guys.
