Call Spring Mountain, give them your VIN and get signed up.

You are correct in that the flyer should have been with your owners manual and associated paperwork packet

As stated above, it really isn’t needed though. You can reach out via phone or go the to website for information

Agree with the two comments above. When I picked up my ‘22 we called Brooke Bailey at Spring Mountain as I was taking delivery to preview availability.

On the website I saw many track configurations at that track. What track do you end up driving for the school?

It also states 1 night stay included in the registration fee. Has anyone had any luck reserving and additional night, or do most people stay somewhere else their first night in town?

I went in November. Myself and everyone in my class arrived the night before and stayed on site. I think this is pretty common.

Note that sometimes things are booked up on-site and they will put you in the Holiday Inn. They will tell you this when you book. I didn't want to do that, so they found another date where they could accommodate me on-site.

In my experience, the place is very well run. Just give a call and they will be able to answer your questions and work out any accomdations you need.

I went in 2020 after I got my C7. I stayed 2 nights on site, one of which was paid by GM. Since I drove, and class ended the afternoon of the second day, I stayed a third night at a motel, and headed home the following morning. If you have never been there, you'll be impressed with every aspect of it. Can't wait to go again, when my C8 comes in.

Waiting for a Oct or Nov. date they have yet published fall dates. Talked to them and they said I would be informed.

@Fasttrk - like you, I attended the C7 school but got nothing when I bought my C8 about the school. I bought my C8 from the #7 dealer in the country and expected better. I called Spring Mountain and they took care of me with my VIN. Enjoy!

I went in August 2021. My class was actually less ($800) because of it being the hottest part of the summer and they included the condo stay for the night before the class at no extra charge. Not sure if they are still offering this discount during the extreme months but it might be worth inquiring about. It was hot, but you’re almost always in the car or classroom so it’s not bad. It’s the best money you’ll ever spend for driving purposes.

Hi….I have a C8 on order. Does anyone know if you can bring a guest to the driving school and does that cost extra? Does the GM discount deal of $1000 only cover 1 person? Thanks!

A guest can participate if full payment is received. When I went in Oct 2020, one non-driving guest was allowed. They could sit in the classroom (space available), and could also ride with an instructor. However, I went during Covid and those two opportunities were not available. My disabled son was with me, and they made accommodations for him. He was allowed to sit in a lobby while the classroom was used. They had him in an a/c van where he could watch the parking lot drills. The director took him out on the course for some very hot laps, while we were having photos taken. They really treated us well. Call them and ask what the current policy is.

I'm heading there is June. The guest cost was $40 (for food, etc). Not a bad deal.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How long is class?
8:00am – 4:00pm each day
.
Is there a dress code?
What shoes do I wear?
There is not a specific dress code. We suggest comfortable clothes. For footwear,we recommend Piloti driving shoes, sold in the Welcome Center, or a flat-soled shoe.
Can I bring a guest?
Participants are welcome to bring a guest for an additional $40
.
Guests will be required to sign all forms and track waivers, and may accompany you for all meals.
Guests will not be providedtrans portation to amenities around property
.

If you want your guest to participate in the full school, including driving, you need to pay full fare for that guest. My wife took the COS with me and the additional cost was about $3,500 for her school. Well worth it.

True.... The $40 was just for my wife to stay with me and have a couple of meals not take the actual class.
