Apparently, Chevy sent one lucky lad to the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain Resorts (about an hour west of Las Vegas) to learn how to drive a racecar. And it just to happened that the racecar in question was none other than a C6 Corvette Z06.
At the experienced direction of Ron Fellows Chief Driving Instructor Rick Malone, the student — Greg — performed all kinds of driving exercises, including heel-toe downshift, dry handling oval exercise, and the wet figure 8 exercise — all to improve his ability to control the car. Once all that was out of the way, it was time to hit the track:
Hey Chevy — we wouldn’t mind a day at the track with a professional driving instructor either. Just saying.

As I look back, one of the things I will always regret is not taking advantage of the free Fellows or Barber driving school that came with my new C6. Even with a year to manage it, I just couldn’t swing it at the time. Sad, I am.
