It is a great facility with several driving schools (Corvette, ZR-1, Lotus, Radical) with quality folks running the place. The schools are generally more geared toward car control and high performance driving than actual road racing, but they do have advanced courses. I now spend a lot of time at Firebird (Phoenix) and the track isn't as "upscale", but it is hard to beat Bondurant's school for instruction. However, if you are looking for a challenging course and would like to get a jump on future track days, I think a session at Spring Mountain will not disappoint you.

Thanks Pappy......I'm brand new to the road course scene so more of a beginner class is just fine. That is where I'll be spending a majority of my seat time so I thought I'd check there first. I'll check on Bondurant and see if they do one on one courses as well.
