Pahrump, Nev. – (Sept. 2010) –  Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch has announced its Ron Fellows Performance Driving School has been selected as The Official High Performance Driving School of Chevrolet.

“We are honored and excited to have teamed with Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch and the legendary Ron Fellows to create the ultimate Chevrolet High Performance Driving School in Pahrump, Nevada,” said Chevrolet Corporate Events Manager Sean Finegan.  “We’re looking forward to a long and successful relationship teaching students of all skill levels the attributes of driving the Corvette and other great Chevrolet products.”

The new agreement provides Chevrolet access to Spring Mountain’s cutting-edge driving school, racing facilities and multi-configuration road course for vehicle testing, promotional activities, filming advertisements, and a prominent presence to promote its products.

“This announcement is a credit to CEO John Morris and his team at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch with their effort that has been put forward creating a first-rate driving program at a world-class facility,” said Ron Fellows, multi-time Champion Corvette racing driver.  “Together with our Michelin partnership, we feel our performance driving curriculum not only offers students a great opportunity to develop their driving skills, but also gives them a chance to experience the true performance potential of the Chevrolet Corvette.”

Spring Mountain’s vast fleet of Corvettes includes 14 Grand Sport Coupes, six Z06s, and six ZR1s, plus four Chevrolet SS Camaros for a total of 30 vehicles.

Currently, every Chevrolet customer who orders a Corvette ZR1, receives a complimentary two-day certificate to participate in the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School, one of only two official U.S. Corvette ZR1 Driving Schools.  The two-day course curriculum is designed to teach new ZR1 owners how to fully enjoy the performance capabilities of their ZR1, in a safe, closed-course environment utilizing Spring Mountain’s 2.2 mile, 10-turn road course.

“Spring Mountain has long recognized the tremendous value, reliability and performance of Chevrolet vehicles, and our new agreement gives our clients more access to this great brand of cars,” said President & CEO John Morris.  “We’re proud to be officially recognized by Chevrolet, and we’re committed to continuing our premier, high performance driving school experience to benefit our clients from around the world.”
