The Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain Motor Resort is one of the best places for Corvette fans to learn how to properly drive their car around a race track.
The school runs a special program for C7 Corvette owners specifically, which allows the initial retail purchasers of new C7s to attend a two-day driving school at Spring Mountain that includes dynamic car control exercises and lessons on proper cornering techniques and other driver skill development.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Last year, the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School organized a special event after Chevrolet needed about 20 examples of the 2019 Corvette ZR1 delivered to Spring Mountain. The lucky 2019 Corvette ZR1 drivers met up in Detroit before setting off on a lengthy road trip to Spring Mountain in Pahrump, Nevada. This gave them the opportunity to break the brand-new ZR1s in before they were due to hit the race track later in the week.
Ron Fellows’ sons Sam and Patrick joined him on the road trip and put together a video documenting the 2019 Corvette ZR1 convoy. Here’s what Ron, a former Corvette Racing driver and NASCAR road course ringer, had to say about the trip:
“This is no joke! One year ago we completed a 3-day drive from Detroit, MI to the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Pahrump, NV (approximately 2,300 miles),” he said in a Facebook post. “My sons Sam & Patrick documented our trip and put together this cool video. Enjoy!”

My dream car.1977 Corvette was my first car I bought with my own money , I loved the Corvette and wanted to work for GM because of that car. I had 18 years just about with GM , after being laid off the month of Christmas , my spirit and passion for that car is gone , I loved Motorsports ,that dream is over. I’m sure Ruess and GM executives are loving those Corvette road trips with their kids.
Don’t let a bitter taste ruin passion. I wouldn’t take the layoff so personally… that’s just the way businesses are though. But the Corvette has no prejudice, it gives you what you’re willing to give it and is very rewarding. You should reignite your passion and have fun! Forget about the past, it’s over and done with.
Enjoyed the road trip…from the east coast…taken the ride many of times….owned a 99 c5 and a 08 zo6…loved them both…I reside in pahrump now with my family…When I go into or from Vegas ….and pass the track…. It reminds me of a elitist do not enter your too poor and dont belong here Golf Course…
