ZR1 Program Receives Rave Reviews


Our inagural
Ron Fellows Performance Driving School for new ZR1 owners was held last week at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch to postive reviews. Last month we took delivery on two screaming fast new ZR1’s, with two more expected to be delivered in November. Pictured below are the students and instructors from Spring Mountain’s first ZR1 school: L-R Steve Robertson, Bob Owen, and Shawn Owen, all from Los Altos, CA and Roy Sinor - Tulsa, OK. Also pictured are Barry Yost and Jordan Yost, Instructors.
 
Ron Sinor, one of our ZR1 program students from Tulsa, Oklahoma, writes about his experience in the Corvette forums, “I was fortunate enough to be one of the four students in the first ZR1 driving course, it comes with the car. I wanted to get the maximum I could from my experience, I think I did. …I will tell you the schedule, the instructors, the employees, the owner, the food, the cars, the track, the club house are all second to none, and the classes were excellent. … I left a better driver for sure, more aware of my car and its capabilities. …The ZR1 class offered plenty of seat time in both the Z06 and ZR1. You will leave understanding the difference in the two cars with exceptional training behind you.”
 
Read Roy’s entire post in the forums.
We are proud to have been chosen as one of only two authorized training facilities in the country to offer specialized driving programs to new Corvette ZR1 owners.

Chevrolet News & Corvette Happenings

 

New ZR1’s added to Spring Mountain’s Fleet!
 
Spring Mountain took delivery of its first ZR1 Corvette for the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School last week.  We are proud to have been chosen as one of only two authorized training facilities in the country to offer specialized driving programs to new Corvette ZR1 owners.  Each new ZR1 owner receives a FREE 2-day driving school, compliments of Chevrolet.  Registration for the ZR1 school has now begun, with classes starting on October 20 and filling fast. Call 800-391-6891, ext 238 and ask for Melinda to register for school today.  Book a ZR1 school before December 15 to take advantage of some extra incentives.  

 
With 638 horsepower and 604 ft/Lbs of torque, the highly anticipated ZR1 is the most powerful, and most expensive, Corvette ever made.  But because it has a limited production of only 2,000, it is also nearly impossible to purchase.  But thanks to Spring Mountain Driving School’s new partnership with Corvette racing legend, Ron Fellows, we have acquired two of these amazing vehicles, and taking them for a spin around the facility’s 3.1 mile track is now a possibility.  

ZR1 Anthony MitchAnthony D’Avanzo and Mitch Burlake (pictured here) from Spring Mountain flew to Detroit Michigan last week to pick up our new, fully-loaded, Jet Stream Blue 2009 ZR1 from Les Stanford Chevrolet.  Anthony and Mitch embarked on a cross-country journey with the new ZR1 to deliver the car to Spring Mountain and have chronicled their trip in the forums.  Our second ZR1 will be delivered the week of October 13, and we’ll keep you posted in this newsletter with more ZR1 stories. 
 
Our Spring Mountain sales representatives had a busy schedule of Corvette Shows last month.  On September 20 we exhibited at the Historic Prescott All-Corvette Car Show, sponsored by the Vette-Sette Corvette Club, in beautiful Prescott Arizona.  Then we headed over to Henderson, Nevada for the Super Run Car Show,  which was great fun.  The weekend of October 11-12 was packed with activity.  In  Tombstone Arizona, Anthony and Mitch displayed the brand new ZR1 for the Corvettes and Ghostriders Annual Corvette show.  In Pomona, we displayed a 2008 Z06 school car at the Pomona Valley Corvette Association’s 6th All American Car & Corvette Show.  
 
Our next Corvette Track Days will be held November CTD Logo small22-23 and is always an eagerly-anticipated weekend.  We are planning an extra-special event, and are excited to see our friends and fellow Corvette owners at the all-new Spring Mountain next month.

The goal of this partnership is to provide the most highly-regarded and comprehensive driving school curriculum available in the motorsports world.  The new Ron Fellows Performance Driving School will offer a wide range of driving programs guaranteed to provide an adrenaline-packed track experience for our students.  Curriculums include 1-, 2- and 3-day Corvette Programs, a newly-released ZR1 Program, and an SCCA License Recommendation Program.  
 
“We are thrilled to be working with Ron Fellows to present the new Ron Fellows Performance Driving School and believe that our students will leave this experience with a greater and safer understanding of how to handle a vehicle of this caliber,” said Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch co-owner, John Morris.  “Our highly-rated Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School, which is already considered one of the nation’s premier driving schools, will be greatly enhanced by Ron’s expertise from his highly successful racing career, resulting in an unmatched Corvette experience for our valued customers.”

Ron Fellows participated in the on-track development of the Corvette ZR1, America’s Supercar, and will be instrumental in facilitating the delivery of several ZR1’s to Spring Mountain for the new owners of this amazing new vehicle. 

 

 I’m really excited about this new venture with Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch and am very impressed with the commitment of the owners in creating a state-of-the-art performance driving facility for their students,” said Ron Fellows.  “My passion for Corvettes equals my passion for driving.  Together with a great team of instructors at the Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School, we will present an incredibly strong curriculum that provides an educational and fun driving experience with lasting benefits for anyone who attends.”
