Members, friends, family and the media gathered at the newly-completed Club Spring Mountain Member Center for a weekend-long celebration May 3-
4, 2008! The festivities began with breakfast by Pit Stop, karting events and a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony attended by the members and their guests. On hand for the ceremony was Russ Meads, President of Classic Homes, the General Contracting firm responsible for the design, construction and interior decor of the luxurious resort-style Clubhouse. Also Ted Torres, Founder and President of the International Hospitality Development Alliance, who unveiled the artist’s renderings of the upcoming Spring Mountain Hotel, expected to be completed in 2009! The group drank a cider toast to the successful completion of the highly anticipated gathering place for members and their friends and to the future of Club Spring Mountain.

Members of the press - locally and even internationally - were on hand to interview the owners, members and guests for upcoming newspaper and magazine coverage and TV specials, so be sure to look for
Club Spring Mountain in the media! Pictured at left is Roni Taylor, Host of
Ultimate Lifestyles TV in Las Vegas, interiewing co-owner John Morris for an upcoming special on the Club.
After lunch competitors enjoyed a highly spirited
Spring Mountain Series Race with a phenomenal 20-Radical grid, complete with “umbrella girls” to shade each driver, on Saturday afternoon. The Radical race was followed by a Sports Car Series Race with trophy
presentations and photo opportunities for all the winners.
Jen Gillum, Miss Spring Mountain, was also on-hand for the podium ceremonies. We were thrilled to have Nick Dove and Paul Dujon from
Radical Motorsport among the celebrants, directly from the Radical factory in England! Congratulations to the winners of all the races! (The race results will be uploaded to the website soon.) Check out our

On Saturday night members and guests enjoyed
cocktails and appetizers catered by the local casino, the
Pahrump Nugget. The revelers noshed on a shrimp bar under a magnificent ice sculpture with the Club logo, ample passed hot and cold hors d’oeuvres and a delectable chocolate fountain. Jeffrey’s crew did a wonderful job of presenting the feast in the beautifully finished Clubhouse with music and entertainment by a Las Vegas DJ. The party crowd danced into the night, and everyone agreed it was a party to remember.
Members and their guests enjoyed all the amenities in the new Clubhouse throughout the
Grand Opening weekend, including the sparkling pool and jacuzzi area, the state-of-the-art fitness center, the massage center and the Gun Range. Karting on the 1.2-mile track was fun for the whole family, and tours in our hot 6-passenger 4-wheel-drive Rangers were going on through the day.
We would like to thank all of our members and guests for your continued support, and for your attendance at this exciting event! The Spring Mountain staff was phenomenal as always, working hard to ensure everyone had a fantastic weekend. We look forward to seeing you at future parties and events at Club Spring Mountain!
