Title: Spring Mountain additional track
Post by: Rocketman on September 13, 2013, 03:41:30 PM
Just an FYI, Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch has added a significant amount of track with 81 feet elevation change and what they call a "high speed spiral".(Probably not to tread on the term "corkscrew")  It was great when we were invited there previously, and I have gone independently quite a few times to run with the Las Vegas Porsche Club HPDE events held there several times a year. The new part is the right third including the right straight of the two parallel straights.   I suspect that using it in combination with the old section would take out a straight that the Viper guys enjoyed.

I drove a couple of parade laps on the new section a few weeks ago.  The curved hill section does seem a lot like the LS corkscrew.  I don't know that they plan to ever put the whole track together for a long track.  It seems that they are getting busy enough to utilize 2 tracks at once.  One for members and one for the driving school.   The Porsche club HPDE event leader (and also club member) said that it is getting harder and more expensive to get track time for outside events.  The owner was there and said that there are future plans for even more track.

That does look great! I'm definitely interested if we ever get the opportunity to run there again.
