I’ve been to Spring Mountain three times, twice for new Corvettes and most recently last November for new 4BW 6-spd. I do believe it’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on. If I lived in Vegas it would be a serious drain on my household budget. If you love to drive, don’t miss it.
 
Heck, I went a year ago and didn't even get the personalized sippy bottle!
I went for Corvette 7 years ago and they did it then. It wad just a Ron Fellows bottle with my name put on it from a label maker so not sure I would really call it "personalized". Maybe they upgraded to a Cricut to earn that label.

It's a Spring Mountain V Academy bottle with first name and last initial on it, from a label maker. The wife likes it, great for making protein shakes, liquid IV drinks etc. Nice little bottle. We used it for our road trip after the class.

Oh, and to the post about Karting...it was a BLAST!! Karting is ALWAYS fun! Whether it's the Andretti indoor electric karts or similar or outside gas-powered karts...fun times!!

A quick note on the heat - here in Texas this past Saturday was HUMID / HOT / NASTY....I was dreaming of being back in the 103 degree DRY desert heat!! LOL!! I'm going back to Vegas next week for a "work" trip.

Also - my driving gloves were useful - mainly from keeping my hands from FREEZING from the COLD A/C while on track LOL...and also for karting. I wore my Stand 21 race boots the first day, way overkill, they were nice for karting though. Just wore normal sneakers the next day, just fine.
 
Not too fancy but I like it! Drank Liquid IV out of it tonight!

Unrelated but Liquid IV is the dumbest name ever. All IVs fluids are by definition liquid, unless you want to kill a person.
You mean you’re not supposed to snort it…? 😂

.... well, don't forget that it's also called "IV"; which obviously must stand for the Roman numeral 4
 
I booked last week for the October 8-9th dates. Trying to stay out of the heat, but wanted to make sure I got the class in before December (when I purchased the vehicle).
 
I "missed" the most recent release of dates by about 10 minutes, and am now waitlisted for a Nov session. So, fair warning to anyone, the spots can fill up fast. All I specified was 6mt. Not sure if I need to get more granular than that (PP, carbon ceramics, etc.)

There was an update about their starting to charge for accommodations or something, can anyone speak to that? Yay or nay? When I talked with Kim about a month ago, I was informed all costs (lodging included) were covered, so not sure if something has changed. I plan to go with no guests.
 
Full disclosure - I was MASSIVE a year ago - I literally lost a 106 pound blanket since then so I now feel MUCH better and get cold much easier! Had a blast! Wish we had more track time!
Mad props btw! Now THAT is an achievement!!! Can only imagine the differences across the board you have noticed. Now just keep it up!
