Well, that's one thing you're NOT going to be doing on the 2009 Caravan but there's an easy, safe and inexpensive way to do that: Corvette Track Days at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. Spring Mountain is acknowledged by performance driving professionals to be one of the most technical, challenging and exhilarating tracks to drive. A Corvette Track Day weekend gives the novice driver and experienced road racer alike a chance to try out their Vette's power and handling in an unrestricted manner on one of the top driving school tracks in the Southwestern U.S. Come join some of your fellow Caravanners along with other members of the Corvette Community for two days of performance driving instruction, practice and timed runs. There are 4 run groups that range from beginners, who've never been on a track, to expert racers. There is a class room session each morning and Saturday's track activities begins with a lead-follow session to show you the track both of which are conducted by the instructors of the Spring Mountain School of Advanced Driving. Corvette Track Day weekends are also times to socialize with other Corvetters who share your interest in performance driving. The weekends include a "Happy Hour" at the end of each day along with the customary Saturday night barbecue dinner, prize giveaways and a free, Spring Mountain Shirt. Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch is in Pahrump, Nevada 45 minutes west of Las Vegas. The next three Corvette Track Day weekends are 2/9-10/08, 4/5-6/08 and 11/22-23/08.
