Awesome, what do they do when your wife wants to sign up too? Is there a discounted price for that?

How long is that pricing good for? I'd like to plan a trip with my wife. Honestly I'd like her to do the school so she can get comfortable in the car. I've been tracking/racing for a long time. Maybe we both sign up and I destroy her on track... if you're not first, you're last honey.

The price is only good for the single owner. If your wife wants to drive, then it's the full $3500 price. However, your wife can sit through all the classes, go on ride along with the instructors, and participate in everything but the actual driving for for free.

I was there in 2018 and after a day of class and a few ride alongs, my wife was ready for a massage and a drink by lake. She had a great time.

Hard to say, but since they are subsidized by GM, they will probably hold that price for the foreseeable future. If you've been tracking/racing for a long time, it might be a bit dull for you the first day, but you'll get to open it up on the track on the second day.

$1,000 = good value

$3,500 = no F'n way

If we could both do $1,000 ($2k total) I'd be planning the trip right now.

When I spoke with them about 45 days ago I was told the two day course was going to run $2,500, same as the C7. GM is helping with $1,500 for one driver. A second driver could pay full fare for the course. Can’t register until you take delivery of your car for the GM financial assistance. GM assistance good for one year after delivery of your C8.

I have done level 1,2,3 and c7 owners school
Going to let my wife enjoy the class and I will just sit there and take in the info. I believe if you want to do a second person in the class you have to pay the full value for driving ability Otherwise, it is free to sit along spouse in the class.

Honey, I'm going to be out of town for a sales meeting with a new customer in Iowa. I'll be in meetings most of the day, but I'll give you a call when I get back to the hotel. - I love you.

Wow, the $1000 includes a night's stay? Seems like a heck of a deal. Car scheduled to be built in April - do I have to wait until its delivered to officially sign up?

Post up what they tell you. I've taken L1, 2, 3, and the ZR1 school there. In fact, the certificate for my last C7 is just about to expire unused

I started a thread asking that very question as I was thinking I won't get mine till July at best. Most believed you had to take delivery prior. Also, most believed it best to get familiar with the car prior to attending the owners school at SM.

They will ask for your VIN number to verify ownership. I would think that once you get the VIN number with your associated name, they can sign you up.
