Welcome to 2018

Highlights of a Phenomenal Year

Happy New Year from all of us at Club Spring Mountain! Our resolution for 2018 is to continue providing the highest-quality amenities, events and services for our valued members. 2017 was a fabulous year! More developments and new partnerships made your Club experience more fun and rewarding. Our goal to create an all-inclusive luxury destination for motorsports enthusiasts and families is being fulfilled and as always, we appreciate your support.

Highlights of 2017’s accomplishments are listed below:

January 2017: After 3 1/2 years of planning, Nye County commissioners approved the final residential subdivision map for Spring Mountain Estates, our development at the facility with 80 home and mixed-use lots. Officials also approved street names such as Spring Mountain Blvd., Octane Court, Radical Court, Indy Court, Formula Court and more.

March 2017: The Spring Mountain development team embarked on a vigorous schedule of compacting, rough grading and fine-grading 80 home sites at the facility. The final subdivision map recorded on March 6, clearing the way for construction to begin and for members holding deposits to enter into an escrow agreement.

April 2017: Spring Mountain hosts the US launch of the Generation 3 SR8. As described by the manufacturer, “The SR8 is a truly exhilarating drive, powered by a bespoke Radical V8 engine with physics-defying grip, relentless acceleration and powerful brakes.

April 2017: The Department of Real Estate approved the Sales Certificate for Spring Mountain Estates, allowing construction to begin on Member’s properties. Nye County Assessor’s office applied parcel numbers and addresses to the home sites. Spring Mountain Estates Homeowners Association was established.

May 2017: Construction begins on the water and sewer plant with expectations to complete the project in less than one year. In addition meetings with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) were held to acquire approximately 600 acres adjacent to the facility for additional track and supporting structures.

August 2017: Construction of the Sewer and Water Treatment plant is moving at a brisk pace. The east track was closed during the month of August to build a tunnel for access by the Utility Company.

September 2017: Spring Mountain entered into an agreement with a privately-held developer of master-planned business parks in the US to develop a portion of the 22 acres at the entrance to the facility. The agreement is for the construction of a major hotel property with a casino, restaurant and retail shops.

October 2017: Construction on the Water/Sewer Treatment project progresses, and more members are planning their trackside homes. The water and sewer is over 70% installed along the residential lots and the water storage tanks near completion for the rough installation.

November 2017: Silverton Casino Hotel plans a new mixed-use development project located on the commercial parcel at the entrance to the facility. The first phase of the project includes a major brand 110 room all-suite hotel connected to a new casino to be designed and operated by Silverton. The casino will feature over 200 slots, 5 game tables, a sports book and café. In addition restaurant and retail opportunities will be available on individual parcels fronting Highway 160. Future phases planned at the project include a large retail, entertainment, restaurant and movie theatre district. The project is expected to break ground in the Fall of 2018.

December 2017: The Spring Mountain Racing Invitational, held on the Mansell “C” 3.4-mile course, opened to members and non-members racing Radical Sports cars, Wolf Racing Cars, and other closed wheel prototypes. Highlights of the Invitational included an Enduro race and over 10 hours of track time over 4 days.

2018 will be a remarkable year with big announcements to be revealed in the coming months. We are grateful for our valued members; without you our progress would not be possible. You have supported our vision through the years, and we thank you for coming along on this exciting ride with us. You are part of the family, and we are looking forward to making more memories in 2018!

Facility Development Update

Construction Progress for Water/Sewer Treatment Plant and Commercial Papers Signed

2018 starts off strong, with more development for Spring Mountain Estates and Spring Mountain Commercial. The Water and Sewer Treatment plant is progressing well, with very few weather delays. Paving on the road for all parcels backing up to the track should be completed in January, and the perimeter block wall should be finished by mid-month. The block wall is 6 feet high and approximately 1½ miles long around the property. Final completion of the water tanks and lines running across the Commercial property is also expected this month.

The Purchase Agreement has been signed on the 7.56 acre parcel for mixed-use development including an all-suite hotel, casino, restaurant and retails shops at the entrance to the facility. The commercial project is expected to break ground in Fall of this year. It won’t be long before we begin seeing construction on members’ homes going vertical around the track and we’re excited to see the outcome!

You can own a custom trackside estate lot with high performance driving outside your front door. If you would like to become the owner of a parcel in our ultimate driver’s paradise, contact Mike Weeks at 949-235-7810 or by email mike@racespringmountain.com.
