Increase Your Driving skill while driving a C8

Make a C8 Your Classroom

Do you have two days available with nothing to do? I recommend you spend them behind the wheel of a mid-engine C8 at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School.

There are other great racing schools out there that offer instruction that cater to varying abilities and are staffed with incredibly talented instructors, but the Ron Fellows school offers the mid-engine C8 as the classroom. This makes the Ron Fellows Driving School, based out of the luxurious Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club in Pahrump, Nevada, one of the best for Corvette owners; other car owners also would enjoy this program.

Two-day instruction at the Corvette Owners School retails for $3,695, not including accommodations, but if you buy a brand-new C8 Corvette, your tuition is slashed to $1,000, and that includes a one-night stay in a Spring Mountain trackside condo and full access to Club Spring Mountain. There are also three more-advanced Corvette programs that range from around $4,095 to $5,495 each.

It’s the final week for
the Lost Corvette Sweepstakes!

Ends Monday! Win One of Eight Classic Corvettes in the Lost Corvettes Giveaway.

The Lost Corvettes is a collection of 36 sequential Corvette model years ranging from 1953 to 1989 that were given away to one lucky winner in a VH1 contest in 1989. Pop artist Peter Max bought the entire collection and stored it away in a New York City parking garage for decades. A group called the Corvette Heroes rescued the collection and has offered to give away each Corvette with the proceeds benefitting “Stand for the Troops”, a 501(c)(3) organization. January 10th is the final deadline to enter one of the eight remaining Corvettes: 1953, 1956, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1976, 1981, and 1985. Tickets for The Lost Corvettes start at $3 each with bonus ticket levels beginning at $25 and up.

Frank R.’s new C8 Convertible

52 years ago I did an end over end car crash in a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda. I had just turned 21 the day before. I then put a deposit on a 1968 Corvette Convertible, but because of the accident I couldn’t get insurance, so on Washington’s Birthday I ordered my first brand new car, a 1970 Cutlass convertible.

Then 51 years to the day I ordered a brand new Corvette Convertible. After a day shy of 7 months later I took delivery of my new 2022 C8.
