Corvette driving school
was listed here many months back, but they've got several upcoming events. I plan on instructing a couple this summer. For those that prefer not to track their own car, this is a great opportunity to run in a variety of C5 & C6 street AND race cars.
btw, this group was featured in a TV show (Dream Camp) last summer. They have links to the feature in the "video" section of their site.

They used to have the track schedule posted. I don't see it now, just registration for some two day school somewhere, sometime this year, something is missing......

go to the registration page for Roebling Rd events. I believe there are still openings for the early April event even though it says sold out. The specialize in corporate events, and thusly, the website isn't quite as user friendly as it could be.

That is a school run/owned by Henry Gilbert. I met him last year at Roebling and he let us hang around his motorhome during the weekend. He is a prince of a fellow and was willing to help us with anything we needed during the weekend. He was there getting set up and for his school the next week.
He is a racer and also a Hollywood stunt driver. He did a lot of driving for the movie Fast and Furious and has worked on many other movies. He taught Colin Farrell and other big names how to drive. His school employees many named racers as instructors.

Looks like many of the same people who were working with Justin Bell when I attended back in 01.
IMO... they will have a good school, teaching people to drive a Corvette.

Henry is a true "good guy" and helped me the 1st time I had my Z06 on track down at Sebring in Jan '05.

Henry also runs a stunt precision driving school. You know, spinning around and sliding into a parallel parking spot kind of stuff.
I'm instructing their late March event. Tell your friends to sign up for more events so that he'll need me more this summer. Since my funding never worked out for my World Challenge C6R, it would be nice to keep on track in some fashion.
After getting the flu for one event, and then getting snowed out for the next one, I've just about given up on getting back into normal HPDE's
