Ron Fellows Performance Driving School

Fantastic experience: This was an experience of a lifetime I will never forget. Everything about this place was perfect, the venue, the condos, the food, the drinks, the service, the classes, the instructors, the instruction, the cars, the dialing of the cars. Everything was absolutely flawless and I felt like royalty all while getting to learn and drive corvettes on track!

Fantastic experience: Pretty awesome place, first time seeing it up close. Had to deliver furniture there. Might have to work really hard to get me a stingray and go to driving school and become Ricky Bobby. If you ain't first, you're last. Shake and bake!

Fantastic experience: Very cool place to get better at learning about how to drive your car and it's capabilities. The entire group is top notch! You are eventually broken into three groups based on skills and speed... The only thing that bummed me out was they did not let us know who was fastest in each group... Even though I won the autocross in my group.. I can give 2 shits about that! I wanna know who's the fastest on the track! It's the whole reason I pused so hard! 1:159 was pretty good.... But did someone do better? Come on guys.... Use that as the standard it's why we're going there and a true measure!

Fantastic experience: I participated in the C8 Intro program in January 2025 and I cannot say enough positive things about the experiance. There is no one that walks out of this class that regrets going! The staff, top to bottom, are fantastic and the instructors are world class. I had a fantastic time and will absolutely be going back to participate in additional programs. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Recently came for one of the Corvette performance driving classes. Was well worth the money! Instructors spent a good amount of time teaching us. Tracks were well-maintained. Any issues with the cars was fixed quickly. We had nearly 2 hours of in-seat track time across <16 hours of classes. Probably in the seat of the car for 9 hours total across both days. Can't speak highly enough of the course!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors great track, great place!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! So organized. The communication between all the staff was top notch! The instructors!!, Tina, the food service, and everyone we encountered was fantastic. They make it great experience for both the driver and their guest! Thanks to all!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities: reception,food, room, gym/pool and obviously the track and other training areas. Instructors are passionate about the C8, its capacities and excellent customer service tailored to participants abilities. And GM subsidies a large portion of the fees in the first year of C8 ownership. It’s definitely a must for all new owners of stingray or Z06. (Unsure about ERay and ZR1). Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable experience! I’ll try to keep this short and sweet because I have tons to say about this place. First off I been driving corvettes for a long time and I am no stranger to high performance cars. What you learn here just with the owners driving school itself are things I never knew. It looks easy when you watch pros do it that you’re quickly humbled when you try it yourself. The establishment is huge and is very nicely designed and thought out. There’s at least 200+ staff members on site and I didn’t meet all of them but the 30 or so people I did encounter, each and every one of them are SO FRIENDLY AND KIND. I was stunned. I’m from NJ and we don’t have nice people here. The instructors are so knowledgeable and are incredible drivers. You learn a lot here that you become addicted and you wanna go back for a level 1 or 2 driving programs. I will consider that in the future. Condos are spacious, clean, and modern and the food they serve at the clubhouse is buffet style amazing food. I am so thankful I was able to get a chance to experience this. The facility, the driving, the people. All top tier. For those doing the program, spend the money on the photographer they have on site. He takes incredible pics. I’ll include some pics he took of me for reference. What an amazing experience! Thank you RFSM!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, professional program!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience! People were great and classes were very informative!

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome experience! I learned so much during the two days of class. The entire staff is really helpful and everyone has a ton of patience. Will definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience: By far one of the most well put together events! Hospitality is over the top ! Instructors are Excellent plus some A must do ! Will be back would give more stars if able !

Fantastic experience: One of the greatest experiences of my life. Great instructors. Top notch facility.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had no idea what an incredible experience we would have at Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club this week. Two days of instructions in the classroom and most importantly on the track. The C8 Corvette capabilities are incredible! The Instructors are kind, attentive and extremely knowledgeable focused on helping you develop your skills on the track. We met great people from all over the U.S. and found new friends. Also..... Mike Furman, America's (I think the World's) #1 Corvette Salesman from Criswell Chevrolet/Corvette hosted our event making it that much more special.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and first class operation. Weather was great in late March, keep in mind heat can be well over 100 F thru summer.

Fantastic experience: A truly unbelievable experience. Master instructors, amazing track configurations, great amenities. They’ve earned a repeat customer!

Fantastic experience: As a guest participant, where my husband and his friend were drivers, I can not say enough about my experience at this fabulous facility! Except for the fact that I was not driving, I had full access to the whole experience. They even offered ride alongs, each day after lunch, around the track - pedal to the metal! The support staff was incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging with all interactions. No question was a dumb question …. they invited you to be inquisitive and involved. As a guest we were able to stand along side or climb the tower to view the various teaching setups/stations … all 3 going on at the same time before they’d regroup and go out again or back into the classroom. The experiences were precisely managed between trainers so that the flow was flawless. It gives me goosebumps to think we did this! BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME ! If you have the chance treat yourself or go with your driver or both …. take full advantage of this amazing opportunity. Yes, mostly guys were participating but as a gal, those that did drive were not treated any differently. If anything they were were strongly encouraged ! I cannot say enough about this place, the people and the “take away” ….. BEYOND TOP SHELF !

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible. If you are a Corvette owner, Cadillac V-series owner, or just want the experience, it is absolutely worth it. Great facility and great staff!

Fantastic experience: Excellent program if you have a corvette or are thinking about getting one. Everyone that is part of the program is great to work with.

Fantastic experience: Great experience at the C8 Z06 Ron Fellows school! Amazing men(andTammy!)instructors meet and great you as you enter the facility the first day and effortlessly guide you through your two day adventure. Our particular two days were a unique challenge, weatherwise. Rain and a wet track greeted us for day one and thick fog plagued our day two until nearly lunch. The crew never missed a beat and after lunch on day two, the sun came out and we were able to get all of our track time in as they rearranged our Classroom activities. It all flowed seamlessly as if this weather phenomenon was a normal thing in the desert! Sing up, do it, don’t think twice!

Negative experience: Too much time spent on the electronics. Make it mandatory that owners read their manual and experiment in the car before class. Stop begging from Day 1 on for tips. Professionals do not get gratuities. A few mentioned how this pleading was a turn-off for them. Accommodations are just ok. This is 100% not the Ritz, lol I would not recommend this to anyone unfortunately.

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Great facility, great staff

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time at the 2 day Corvette classes. Great facilities and outstanding staff.

Fantastic experience: (2023) **UPDATE. Another experience of a lifetime! This time for Level I Open Lapping with the C8 Stingray. This course was nothing short of perfect! Fantastic instructors. Cars are clean, tuned and maintained to a meticulous standard. Condos are clean and comfortable. Tons of track time with instructor and on your own. I will take this course again just for the track time. I would highly, highly recommend!! (2019) An experience of a lifetime!!!!!! An absolute life moment and one that I shall never forget. The instructors were excellent. Accommodations were superb. The attention to detail and safety were stellar. Pushing a Corvette around an impeccable track was one of the most epic and exhilarating experiences of my life. It was worth every penny and I will be going back as soon as possible. Add this place to your bucket list!!

Fantastic experience: I went to this course recently through the Michelin program all expense paid travel, food lodging chauffeur, transportation, I do it again

Fantastic experience: This is an absolutely amazing experience run by absolutely fantastic family ! Thank you, all we're helpful and cared for their drivers safty. Amazing lifetime dream. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: This was by far one of the funniest things I’ve ever done. Highly recommend it! The staff was amazing not only to me but they made it fun for my son too. Neil and Teddy are awesome guys, thanks again for a great time!

Positive experience: My other half bought a brand new $90k corvette, and through the dealer, you get a discount to spend 2 days in Pahrump, NV in a professional driving school. It was amazing for him. It is country club style, so I was able to enjoy all the amenties of a country club, pool and gym. Condos, breakfast, lunch, and bar. The partners or spouses are even allowed to get in the race cars, and a professional driver takes you around the track like you're in the formula one. It was crazy. I was able to sit in on some of his classes and learn how to drive these cars. Amazing experience, and we both loved it. Especially because he won the race track competition at the end and tried to be humble about it. However, it is a great place to learn every detail about these cars. We will come back to do the next level classes. This time I am driving.

Fantastic experience: love this place. second time here and it's better every time

Fantastic experience: Did the corvette owners program. Great to push myself and see what my car can do. Will probably try to find some local time attack type racing.

Fantastic experience: I recently bought a Corvette and received an invite to the Corvette Owners School which I eagerly signed me and my wife up for. From registration to graduation it was a truly awesome experience. Everyone at Spring Mountain was super friendly and helpful. And I can't say enough about the instructors. They were fully knowledgeable, patient, clear in their instructions, and very encouraging. We are so glad we went!!!

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the Corvette owner class and it truly was an amazing 2 days! I was a (very) slow learner, yet the instructors were patient with me, and knew how and when to get me to the next level. The off-track braking/handling exercises really showed what the car can do in these situations. And on the track… what an amazing vehicle! Even when driven by a complete novice, it was as if the car was glued to the track- even while cornering at 1.1 g’s (which was frowned upon). New owners should not miss this opportunity!! I expect to take the next level in the future!

Fantastic experience: It was an amazing, once in a lifetime , bucket list thing. All the staff was outstanding.

Fantastic experience: Everything here is world-class. Every instructor is fantastic. The facilities, the cars, and the program are all superb. I cannot recommend this school enough. I would love to return here for a more advanced program in the future.

Fantastic experience: What a GREAT Group of people and literally a 5 star Resort! From the moment I was scheduling my class with Ashley then spending 2 days in 96 degree heat (April 28th and 29th 2023). The staff was terrific. Rick Malone and the entire fleet of instructors were all amazing. Thumbs up to them. Driving and pushing the cars to the limits was an amazing experience. I walked a way a much better driver and I understand the amazing Corvette C8 I purchased so much more. Chevy and Ron Fellows Performance school does it right and this is a must for you to check this place out. It will not disappoint you.

Fantastic experience: Completed the 3-day Advanced ZR1 training way back in 2010. I always considered myself a hot rodder, but was amazed to learn from professionals going much faster and safer with the same equipment under all conditions. It's been awhile since I was there, but this "old" review drives home the point that this training will remain relevant from a performance and safety viewpoint as long as you drive.

Fantastic experience: The staff are amazing and the facilities are clean. Great place

Fantastic experience: We knew this was going to be fun but we had no idea how fun, challenging, educational and memorable it would be! The instructors are phenomenally skilled, patient and genuinely nice!

Fantastic experience: Wow, if you are considering going here don't delay. Take a course asap. I loved it and will return. All others students gave great reviews at the end of our 2 day course. Is hard to find good Customer Service these days and the driving school leader (Rick) and his staff give EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. This service detail is built into everything done at this school, plus I know they still want to improve even though they all ready deliver 10 out of 10. I really enjoyed my time there. You will enjoy your time. For those with sons or daughters I strongly suggest you go with them. Great time to spend time with adult kids and show them you can out drive them.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience and excellent staff.

Fantastic experience: Sky and all the guys were amazing. I did the Owner's School at the end of October. I am already planning my Level 1 in the spring. Goal, Level 3. First class experience all the way. Thanks to Ron for saying hello.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Everything is top knotch!!!! Have fun and drive!!!!

Fantastic experience: Ive done 3 of there driving schools and each one just gets better and better! Seriously something everyone should. I have not met a person here I didnt learn something from! Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Great experience and great programs. Can’t wait to come back to take additional classes soon!

Fantastic experience: What a great group of instructors and the experience was great. Worth it especially if you're a new corvette owner. My C8 is my 6th vette and I learned so much not to mention meeting other vette owners.

Fantastic experience: WOW…..what can I say besides just experiencing & witnessing a VERY WELL GREASED TEAM FULL OF PASSION, PROFESSIONALISM, and SKILLS starting from the TOP!!! (Rick) Make SURE you arrive ALREADY “RESTED” for the 2 FULL days you’ll be LISTENING, LEARNING, and PUSHING YOURSELF in assigned C8….as Rick & his AWESOME TEAM “BRING IT”!!! Don’t do what I did…..arrived partially sleep deprived and was able to BRING IT 1st full day, but then chose to have a few Red Bulls & vodka for the “early evening night cap”…..resulting in inability to fall asleep until 4am, w/ a 6am wake up for day 2! Feeling “fired up” & ready to go, the early morning session went well……then I physically & mentally “HIT A WALL”, resulting in safety concerns pushing myself & C8= inability to even have FUN anymore, resulting in “TAPING OUT” prior to ending our morning sessions.‍♂️ I’m sharing/exposing myself so future students can avoid MY POOR CHOICES to be SURE YOU are able to FINISH ENTIRE COURSE STRONG!!! In conclusion, Rick’s TEAM BRINGS IT!!! He also has it STRUCTURED where his instructors ROTATE each training phase, which exposes the student to CONSISTENT PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS, yet each has a slightly different “personality/approach” towards teaching keeping the student from “complacency”, but instead “newness & freshness” towards being PUSHED…..so MUCH that one of my instructors nearly sent ME to “TIMEOUT”when on the track!!! But because of HIS PROFESSIONALISM & CARE, caused ME to realize I should NOT continue due to my sleep deprived body & mind per safety and personal enjoyment that disappeared being so TIRED!‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Just completed two days of instruction at Ron Fellows Performance Driving School for the mid-engine C8 Corvette. They provided classroom and hands-on instruction on how to improve your driving precision and power control, and learn the on-track and off-track performance capabilities of this mid-engine masterpiece! This is a top-notch driving school with fantastic instructors! Excellent hands-on instruction to learn at your own pace and how to properly drive your C8 Corvette. All of the instructors are patient and super helpful. If you are a new Corvette owner or just an automotive enthusiast, this class is for you!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. I now own a C8 and this was my second time attending as the first was about 6 years ago when I had a C7 Z06. Curriculum has evolved and was excellent. Top notch instructors. Non instructor staff, overall service, food, attention to detail and lodging were all great. If you have a chance to attend don’t hesitate. Instruction is personalized to you while on the track. You can even bring a guest who can attend the classroom sessions and includes meals for only $40 additional.

Fantastic experience: I took the C8 driving school and was so impressed with the instructors, instruction, facilities and everything. I learned so much about the car and it true capabilities. I would take the course again in a second.

Fantastic experience: Amazing time. Instructors were very knowledgeable. It exceeded expectations in every way.

Fantastic experience: I attended the 2 day Corvette Owner's School (COS). I was excited about attending the driving school and I was blown away at how much fun it was. There was an excellent balance of classroom instruction and instructor led instruction on the track. Serpentine, wet figure 8, ABS, Autocross, launching and track runs were taught. The instructors are beyond amazing. They provide specific coaching with what we did right and what we could do better. During our "lead/follow" track runs, we would follow our instructors. They coached us by driving in front of us and watched in their rear view mirrors to what we did right and could do better. It was really amazing. The accommodations on site were very good. And our breakfasts and lunches were also very good. If you're a C8 owner, take full advantage of the discounted price for the COS. If you're not an owner and still want to learn how to drive better in a great car, it's worth it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and a must for anyone that has purchased a new corvette. Instructors are top notch and the class is fun and educational.

Fantastic experience: Top notch driving school with fantastic instructors!! Wake up to the rumble of V8s and the smell of hot asphalt. Learn how to properly drive your C8 Corvette. All of the instructors are patient, helpful, and really enjoy what they are doing. Shout out to JJ, Josh, Darryl, and Matt K... Level 1 was a blast! Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and unreal experience. This is the place to go if you want to leave the correct way to drive a high performance vehicle. The absolute best!

Fantastic experience: This was an awesome experience!!!! I had no previous driving experience or classes, so I was a little hesitant about signing up. I should not have been! The ladies (Brooke, Gina, Tiffany, Lana) I booked with over the phone were very helpful and accommodating. All of the instructors were beyond excellent! They were all very professional, patient, knowledgeable, experienced and fun. They all wanted to make sure you were having fun, enjoying the instruction and learning what you wanted to learn at your ability level. They definitely exceeded my expectations. I also exceeded my own expectations of my first time on a track, which was definitely because of the instructors! Thank you JJ, Chris, Rudy, Teddy, Blake, Josh (I apologize if I missed someone.) and the rest of the staff that made this place run so smooth!

Fantastic experience: Great experience!! unlocked a whole new level of my car. Top notch instructors. Facilities are very nice. Hope to return for more fun!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding experience!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience there for the corvette owners school! Will go back.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the C8 Owners school. The facility was clean, organized and professional. Instructors were top notch! Highly recommend this racing school.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the C8 performance driving school (Jan -2022). I didn’t know what to expect from the school. I was thinking did I just throw money away, why did I sign up in the first place, what are they going to teach me. Well… I was totally blown away. The class is soo worth the money. I was amazed how well organized the process was and how the instructors taught. You do not get a lot of downtime (in which I like)! No fluff straight to business. You get to experience a lot of track time on the road course, figure eights on slick road, Extreme breaking drill , launching the corvette, auto cross , etc.. I still cannot figure out how the instructors were able to give feedback while I was driving like a bat out of hell chasing them on the track. A+

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors with a great facility...highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience, don't miss out on this if you have purchased a new C8 . I was on the fence about doing it , you shouldn't think twice about it , just do it.

Fantastic experience: Instructors are awesome! Patient and understanding. Explains things in detail and in terms to make it understandable for everyone, on and off the track and during exercises.

Fantastic experience: Nice Race track. Was on property for other business

Fantastic experience: World class race track and performance driving school! More than just driving is offered here too! Longest race track in the US!

Fantastic experience: It gave me so much horse power that I hit a wall and asked torque how far we could take it with us. ... we went to Never never land

Fantastic experience: Rons a nice guy. Sweet Track
