A New Year Begins at the Club

Looking back on 2012...A Year in Review

Happy New Year from Club Spring Mountain...your destination for high adrenaline fun in 2013! Reflecting on an exciting and memorable 2012, we closed the year with significant improvements to the facility and new services to our valued members. Highlights are listed below.

. A Major Expansion of our Administration Building was completed, including 1550 square feet of office space, more administrative offices, and additional mechanical lifts with 7 mechanical bays.

. A 3,000 square foot shade cover was constructed for race participants and Radical operations.

. The Winners' Podium was given a complete facelift with exciting new graphics for better photos for the race champions.

. The acquisition of a 120-acre parcel of property from the BLM was finalized in May 2012. With the addition of the new parcel, the total size of the facility is now 313 acres and is slated for future development.

. Sector 111 opened a satellite race shop at Spring Mountain to offer service and support to Club members, including service, track set-up and upgrades.

. The In-Car Flag Alert System was introduced, which alerts you immediately from Race Control as track conditions change, including the ability to communicate directly to you in your individual car, through your unique ID number.

. We introduced a partnership with a new "Sister Club," Monticello Motor Club, and offered the Radical 2-Day Driving Experience in the summer of 2012 in the beautiful Catskill region of Monticello, New York.

. In the fall of 2012 we laid an additional 127,000 square feet and 2040 tons of asphalt, resulting in a 3/4 mile track extension. Not only did we add new track, we also made changes to certain sections to improve safety for our drivers. The new track is composed of state-of-the-art asphalt material.

. Introduction of the ALL NEW Cadillac V-Series Academy, with a whole new fleet of Cadillac vehicles to try out on the track.

. Construction was completed on a full commercial kitchen, adjacent to the bar, and we now offer meal service for breakfast, lunch and dinner on select weekends with a gourmet menu changing per season developed by our new Executive Chef, Susan DeLisle.

It has been our pleasure to serve our valued Club members, and we look forward to welcoming a year filled with continued development, more activities, and many more reasons to visit the track for excitement this year.

Make your resolution to schedule more visits to Spring Mountain this year! In 2013 we are planning more events, more Club races and more amenities for all to experience. We're expecting another GREAT year and our membership continues to grow at a steady rate, thanks to referrals from our loyal and enthusiastic members (we appreciate your support!) This year we will create memories with members and friends old and new. More development is planned at the facility this year. The future looks bright for members of Club Spring Mountain, and we hope you will be joining us more often in 2013.

None of our progress would have been possible without your support and enthusiasm, and we thank you sincerely for your business through the years. We're looking forward to serving you now and in the future.

We'll see you at the Club!

The Radical Cup is open to all Radical SR3 and SR8 owners who have prior racing experience and hold a current racing license with SCCA, NASA, IMSA, FIA or Grand-Am.

The six round championship will take place at top racing circuits in North America (Miller Motorsports Park, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, VIR, AutoBahn and Monticello), and Radical West and Powertec will provide optional track-side support at each round to ensure every competitor gets the most out their racing.

The New Radical RXC Unveiled

From across the pond, Radical Sportscars has revealed its eagerly awaited Le Mans-inspired road car, the Radical RXC (Extreme Coupe), featuring a heavily tuned mid-mounted 283kW Ford V6 engine.
Radical currently holds the production car lap record at the famous Nurburgring circuit with its Radical SR8, but alongside the RXC road car is a race variant ready for International GT and sports car competition that is sure to push production car boundaries further again.

The all-new Radical RXC is the result of three and a half years of development and is a clean-sheet design that is arguably the world's most extreme road-legal (at least in the UK) coupe. Radical Owner Phil Abbott described Radical's first-ever enclosed car, the new RXC as a 'milestone track and race car.' For more information about the Radical RXC, contact Simon Shepard via email at simon@racespringmountain.com. Or, refer to Radical's Twitter Feed for the latest updates on the RXC development process.
