Spring Mountain Motor Resort & Country Club Acquires 120 Acres of Land Adjacent to Facility, Finalizes Improvement Plans

Pahrump, Nevada, May 7, 2012 -- Spring Mountain Motor Resort & Country Club, located just 45 miles from Las Vegas, announced today its successful bid on 120 acres of property immediately adjacent to the facility. The parcel, acquired from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was purchased by modified competitive sealed-bid sale. CEO and co-owner John Morris personally attended the sale at the field office on Torrey Pines Drive in Las Vegas on Monday, May 7, 2012. With the addition of the new parcel, the total size of the facility will now include 313 acres. The final purchase price was not disclosed.

The Motor Resort is planning to immediately improve the property, beginning with a 1.6-mile track extension on the new property, and a .5-mile extension on the current 2.2-mile configuration at turn 4. The new track extension will be 50 feet wide and extremely smooth, due to a special emollient mixed with the asphalt to provide an excellent grip and smooth surface, with exceptional banking, including 102 feet of elevation change with a banked bowl. With this addition, the firm will be able to run 4 simultaneous track configurations, and multiple long track variations for Country Club members, Driving School operations, Track Rentals and Corporate events, with the longest configuration now totaling 6 miles in length.

"We've accelerated our development to realize our vision of Spring Mountain being a world-class motorsports facility," says CEO John Morris. "The acquisition of this new parcel of land from the BLM will allow us to immediately begin our track expansion and to build a lake for the enjoyment of our members, students and guests. After the track addition is complete, Spring Mountain will be the second-longest race track in the world."

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. In Fiscal Year 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School offers a variety of adrenaline-packed driving programs aimed at providing guests an unforgettable track experience. Ron Fellows Performance Driving school participants can log up to 300 miles on the track, and the training repertoire includes one, two and three-day Corvette Advanced Driving Schools, a ZR-1 Program, two-day Radical Racing Schools, and SCCA instruction. Corporate and team building events, along with private driving instruction, is also available.

INNOVATIVE TRACK LIGHTING SYSTEM ELIMINATES FLAGS

Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch is proud to be the first race track in the United States to implement a revolutionary new Track Warning Light Module System, known as the Track Marshall.  The state-of-the-art system,438 designed and implemented by Gary Hardesty, Charter Member of Club Spring Mountain, was designed to warn the driver of hazards on track, far faster than the original flag method.  The systems are completely wireless and are powered by battery backed solar or generator systems.  The benefits are numerous….the high powered lights are much easier to see than the traditional flags, and the system can instantaneously warn the entire track of potentially dangerous situations. 

The systems receive commands via a long-range wireless network that is highly encrypted and secure.  At the 439master control, operated in our new sky-high timing tower, a software program controls the system.  Each Light Module location can be controlled independently, or in sync with the others.  For example, we can allow a yellow flag condition at a specific area of the track, while the remainder of the track remains in a green condition.

The Light Module can produce a wide variety of warning colors, including the standard colors commonly used in racing.  We use extremely bright proprietary LED’s in our systems (not traffic lights as other systems use) allowing for viewing at greater distances and a wider range of color output.  The units are housed in a fire- and weather-proof enclosure and have been tested in very high temperature operation last summer, as well as high wind and rain conditions.

Michelin and Corvette enthusiasts unite at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School [Greenville, S.C., May 1, 2009).

To a driving enthusiast, it doesn’t get much better than an opportunity to learn from a professional driver. Now, the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch (SMMR), Nevada’s premier driving school, and Michelin North America have teamed up to offer consumers an ultra-high performance experience led by Ron Fellows, one of the most celebrated names in Corvette Racing.

The Michelin/Corvette pairing has already proven to be a success as the Michelin® Pilot® Sport PS2 TM ZP tires were chosen as original equipment for the 2009 Corvette ZR1. As part of the Ron Fellows Driving Experience, consumers will experience the highly-capable Michelin® Pilot® Sport PS2 TM ZP tires which provide superior levels of cornering grip, straight-line traction, ride, comfort, noise reduction and extended tread life for confident everyday driving.

In addition to the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP tires developed for the Corvette ZR1, Michelin also offers replacement tire sizes for the C5, C6 and C6 Z06 models (coming in August 09 for the Z06). All vehicles at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School will ride on either Michelin® Pilot® Sport PS2 TM ZP tires or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.

“Our partnership with Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch and Ron Fellows is a natural extension of the relationship we have built with Corvette and Corvette Racing over the years,” said Nicolas Goubert, brand category manager, Michelin North America. “We look forward to offering school participants an experience that is unmatched as two power performers like Michelin and Corvette come together on the track.”

The Michelin-Corvette relationship has proven to be a winning combination since 2004 through a highly-interactive partner-team relationship in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With an overall series record of 51 victories out of 59 races in the GT1 series, Michelin has helped Corvette Racing dominate on the track by developing and delivering performance-proven products for the most successful Corvette race cars in the team’s history.

Spring Mountain’s purpose-built, 3.5-mile road course of esses, banks, blind drops, off-camber corners and straights challenges drivers with elements inspired by the world renowned Long Beach Grand Prix Street Circuit and the Mosport International Raceway.

Dedicated to the improvement of sustainable mobility, Michelin designs, manufactures and sells tires for every type of vehicle, including airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles and the space shuttle. The company also publishes travel guides, hotel and restaurant guides, maps and road atlases. Headquartered in Greenville, S.C., Michelin North America (www.michelinman.com) employs more than 22,600 and operates 19 major manufacturing plants in 17 locations.
