Greetings,

Welcome to the Inagural Edition of Club Spring Mountain News!

In December Club Spring Mountain held its End-Of-The-Year Member Bash to mark official lap times, share ideas and meet fellow members. The following are the results of our discussions.

Track Time/Event Companies

During our discussions at the Member Bash our members agreed that track time is the most important aspect of country club membership. In this spirit we are committed to offering you, our valued members, the maximum time available for weekend events. Virtually every weekend the track will now be open to Club members.* Under this new format you can utilize the full track 2 weekends per month; the 2.2-CSM Fantasy Carsmile course one weekend per month and the 1.5-mile course on the 4th weekend. Many of you also believe that until our membership reaches higher levels it is more fun and competitive to run with selected Car Event companies. Club Spring Mountain will work with the event companies to accommodate your needs and allow you exclusive access to the track through the upper paddock. This will allow you not only to have more time on the full track but you will be running with more cars. The Clubhouse and upper paddock would be reserved for members only while the event companies would remain in the lower paddock on the 2.2-mile track. *certain exceptions apply

 

Kart Track

Our meetings with members revealed a strong desire for a dedicated Kart track at Spring Mountain. In response to your request we have been working on modifying CSM Fantasy Carsthe 1.5-mile road course to accommodate a world class Kart track. In the very near future we will be offering a 1.2-mile (using the 1.5-mile course reduced to a 1.2-mile) Kart course for members while still running the 2.2-mile track for your cars. Our plan is that one weekend per month the 1.5-mile course will have alternating run groups, allowing both karts and cars on the 1.5-mile track at different times. The 1.5-mile course will have several corners added with additional paving allowing for more corners and slowing the track for Karts. Spring Mountain plans to have a Kart shop with rental Karts in the garage buildings across from the Clubhouse. We’ll also sponsor a large Karting event on a monthly basis, while still keeping the 2.2-mile course running with a Car event. In addition, we will also be evaluating the possibility of lighting the 1.2 mile Kart track for running at night.

Exclusive Member Clubhouse

This is an exciting time for Club Members as Construction on the Clubhouse CSM Fantasy Carsis moving along at a record pace. As of today the roof is being installed and drywall should start the week of January 14th. Our builder feels that completion should be by the end of February. Given his track record he might just make it! (Remember the Corvette building only took 75 days.) Some new amenities you may not have heard about include a lap pool for water volleyball and other group sports activities, a half-court and badminton/volleyball court and a work-out area near the Jacuzzi. The main lounge will also include a large conference room with a conference telephone speaker system and Internet access. We’ve also added more space in the back of the Clubhouse for outdoor living. A new wall is being constructed to protect the Clubhouse from intrusions from the track with a planter top. In addition, we are currently reviewing a proposal for a gun range located at the end of the garage buildings.

Club Spring Mountain’s End-Of-The-Year Member BashMembers Vie for Record Lap Times at Spring MountainMembers of Club Spring Mountain, our Private Motorsports Country Club, convened at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch on the final days of 2007 for fun, festivities, and timed lap competitions to set the bar for official Track lap records.

Club Members were invited to “Ring out the Old and Ring in the New Lap Records” with their contemporaries.  On December 27-29, 2007 members were treated to a celebration of camaraderie, CSM Fantasy Cars Smallspeed contests, timed lap competitions, tours of the new Clubhouse under construction, a gourmet catered lunch each day, courtesy of Jolene Shafer, and moijtos at the end of the run sessions. 

The December weather was extremely brisk and sunny at 46 degrees on the track, making it a challenge to warm up those tires for the run sessions.  Members participated in a year-end Club Meeting, where they gave their opinions on some of the new programs and amenities planned for club members.  Guests were invited, and we were were happy to welcome some new members to the clubTransponders were provided for all the members competing in the timed Fred Chin Jim Navarro smalllap runs.  Scores were tabulated by Victor Resendiz and the final times were posted on the official Spring Mountain website.
