October’s Weekend Event Schedule
The month of October is packed with exciting events, with several weekend opportunities to participate in Club or Radical Series races or to run with Event Groups.
 Beginning with the weekend of October 11-12, the Porsche Club of San Diego is running on the full track, and Club Spring Mountain Members are cordially invited to attend and run with the group. The Porsche Club offers three 3 run groups: Fast, Medium and Slow. Race cars, such as Radicals, can ONLY run in the fast group. Sports cars can run in either the medium or fast groups. No Club Spring Mountain member is authorized to run in the slow group. Run sessions are 25 minutes long. The Drivers meeting will be held on Saturday morning, October 11, at 7:45 am and is mandatory for all drivers, including members of the Club! Please contact Ellen if you would like to run with the Porsche Club! Ellen can be reached TOLL FREE at 800.391.6891, on her cell/text at 702-595-3424, or by email at ellen@clubspringmountain.com.
Finally, the weekend of October 25-26 brings us our own Club Race Series Event, featuring Rookie, SR3 and Unlimited classes. Members with Radicals or Sports Cars are invited to participate! We look forward to seeing all of our members and guests at these action-packed October events. Remember to contact Ellen if you would like to participate in any of the events during the month of October. Different rules and guidelines will apply for each of the event companies, so don’t hesitate to call if you need more information or if you have questions.
 Alan Cummins and his son Curtis, from Yorba Linda, California, Charter Members of Club Spring Mountain, visited the Club last week to try a few laps around the track and to pick up their hot new yellow and black Lotus 2-Eleven! Pictured here together behind the Clubhouse, Alan and Curtis have purchased two Lotus 2-Elevens and plan to run them at the track for races and events this season. The Lotus 2-Eleven, aimed at the true track day enthusiast, weighs in at just 1,477 lbs with 252 hp on tap at 8,000 rpm courtesy of its supercharged and intercooled 1796 cc engine. The Lotus 2-Eleven boasts a power to weight ratio similar to that of a 1960s Formula One car. Peak torque of 179 pound-feet comes at a similarly high-strung 7,000 rpm. Zero to 60 mph takes just 3.8 seconds, while the sprint to 100 mph is over in 9.1 seconds. Looking forward to seeing Alan and Curtis at the track with their sensational new cars!Congratulations to Bart Carter, Charter Member of Club Spring Mountain, for winning overall at
 the 2008 Hankook Ultimate Track Car Challenge at Buttonwillow Raceway. As reported recently in Grassroots Magazine, “Buttonwillow and the rest of the UTCC field were no match for Bart Carter and his Radical SR8.” A flat tire in the first session did a bit of damage to the left-rear portion of Carter’s SR8, but by the time the car was sidelined he had already posted a quick enough lap to keep him on top. Bart uses the Spring Mountain road course to practice his driving for races across the country. Bart is pictured here with a few of his fans from a recent win at NASA at mid-Ohio in September. Looks like Bart is having a great year for racing!Track Insurance Now Available
 We are pleased to announce that one of our original Charter members, Jim Navarro, has located a source for track insurance with great coverage at a reasonable cost. Many of our members are not aware that one hundred percent of our current automobile policies exclude us from driving our street cars on the track. If you secure a track insurance policy through Jim Navarro, the company will pay damages if you are involved in a collision on the track. Your vehicle must meet the criteria for passenger cars. Radical and other extreme sports car coverage is also available at a different rate. For additional information about track insurance for Club Members, please contact Jim Navarro at 702-351-3443 or by email jplotus@yahoo.com. Taking Deposits for the next Garage Building  Demand is high for our garages, and as a result there are no spaces left in our latest building under construction. Deposits are currently being taken for the next garage building. Interested members should contact Lindsay Shepard to submit the $500.00 deposit. Lindsay can be reached TOLL FREE at 800.391.6891, on her cell/text at 702-883-9196, or by email at lindsay@racespringmountain.com.  Club Spring Mountain is proud to offer a state-of-the-art Firing Range for the enjoyment of our members. For the safety of all members and our guests, please observe the Gun Range Rules and Regulations that will be posted in the Clubhouse and at the Firing Range. Proper safety equipment, including eyewear and ear protection, must be worn at all times. No member or guest under the age of 16 will be authorized to use the gun-range facilities. If you have any questions or need more information about the Gun Range and the associated rules, please do not hesitate to contact us. New Racing Apparel Available!
