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 the 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 is 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.
