VenomOnWheels Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 For you happy Corvette owners here's an opportunity for an exciting weekend of activities on December 8 & 9 at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. Two full days of class instruction, autocross, the drag strip, the Bondurant track, and the FIR West track, plus dinner Saturday evening with 4 Corvette dignitaries, and all for only $250. "Join Bob Bondurant, Johnny O'Connell, Doug Fehan and Darren Law for a weekend of driving, instruction, and fun as the Corvettes descend on the legendary Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving." If you don't have the time or money but your car is crying out to attend this event, I'll gladly take it for you. Heck, I might even be willing to wear a bowtie to dinner. Click Here to go to the Bondurant website for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Will there be in-car instruction as well or just classroom? Judging from that link, it appears lead and follow is as close to in car instruction as it comes*. Still though, for $250? Great price, IMO. * I am not responsible for anyone who trusts my infantile reading comprehension skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I got the same impression and its something I am going to see if I can make happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So I just got an email this morning that I was signed up for the class, I was rather confused. Then I found out Cheyenne signed us both up to go as a surprise for me! :partydance: :partygrnhat: So we are in!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z06_Mir Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 That is awesome!! I'm thinking about it, I love the Bondurant track and that's the whole reason I even bought a Z... but I don't know if I want to waste that much money in brakes and tires. Why can't our tires be free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomOnWheels Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Will there be in-car instruction as well or just classroom? I got an answer and some additional information: There will be no in-car instructionThere will be no in-car/ride-along instructor demos. An instructor will demonstate the autocross course Two (2) people may participate per entry in each event either trading off driving or just riding along Bondurant cars are available for rent at $500 per day ($400 rental + $100 insurance) ~Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 What are you guys doing for insurance (damage to your own vehicle and liability)? Or are you just living dangerously and running without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azmotorhead Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have never purchased track insurance. I feel that I my limits are far below what the car can do., or maybe I'm just ignorant. Whats the worst that could happen you kill some cones or drive thru some dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the worst that could happen you kill some cones or drive thru some dirt. You're running on the track at significant speed with other cars. The worst that could happen is you get tangled up with some jerk who doesn't know how to drive, your car gets totaled, you end up in the hospital, then you get sued, are determined to be at fault and lose everything you own. If I was running on the track by myself, I wouldn't get insurance. Sharing a track with a bunch of peeps I don't know, I won't run without damage and liability both. Call me paranoid, but I have too much to lose to run without insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azmotorhead Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Granted Donna, But at all the events I have run cars are not running door to door lap after lap. It's not like a NASCAR race. You follow as close to the car in front as you feel comfortable. If someone is hugging your back bumper you wave them by. If I'm on someones bumper trying to pass them. I make sure I don't put myself in a bad spot if they do something stupid. Here's a example you may recognize a car or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt say that.. I dont think was waving me by(I never saw a wave) In his defense. his car had a trans line come off that day & I think it was prior to this video. He may have still had alot of oil under the car causing the rear tires to lose grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
