Topic: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

Wondering what it would take to get a Lemons race here?

http://www.springmountainmotorsports.co … race-track

Their full course is over six miles long, and includes replicas of some of the most famous circuits in the country.

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

Wondering if this is the track that Lemons booked in 08 or 09 and then canceled on us a few weeks before the race because some other group was willing to pay more for the track.  If so, not a chance that Jay will book there.  We were kinda excited to get some gambling in with our racing.

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

It's in Pahrump.

You can order private massages with bonus add-on features right there at the track.

Only 9.8 miles to the Chicken Ranch or 10 miles even to Sheri's Ranch.

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

In all seriousness, is there any process for requesting tracks?

Or is Cheeseroo correct that Jay went down this path already?

Why do you know that?

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

Part of the deal is club members must have use of the track.
When VARA runs there, we give club members a run group.

Super fun track though!

jeff@24hoursoflemons is generally the one who screens new tracks.

Blech, that's a Tilke track isn't it?

edit: Survey says: Nope but still no way Lemons would get the full track.
Probably east course based on the other  Dial-A-Track venues layouts.

No... Lol.

I think the only Tilke tracks in the USA are COTA and AMP.

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

I do believe this is the place that changed their willingness to host a Lemons race.

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

IIRC Jay was more pissed that they didn't exactly whip out the checkbook to refund his deposit than the very late cancellation. (if that indeed was the place where that happened and my memories from 10 years ago aren't failing me).  Whatever track that was I can say with some certainty that Lemons will never visit there.  There's a country club track in Indio, CA that might be worth poking Jeff about but they could just as likely dismiss it as being like caddy day at Bushwood.

An event at Thermal would be pretty cool, but TeamZoo would love it if Chuckwalla made it back on the list.

I think they found Chuckwalla unreceptive mgt- wise, (parking issues etc) as well as too far from emergency services. I get the last but that didn't keep me awake at night... It was the impossibility of getting, oh, a jug of ATF or a bag of ice without going on a two-hour banzai run down the 10. Never mind a decent parts store or anything like that. "Bring absolutely every last thing you might need or else" is a hard motto to follow if you're more used to running at Sonoma smile

Yeah, Thermal sounds like fun, actually.

I don't think parking is an issue anymore at Chuckwalla.  Some friends rented the track about a year ago and I took a car there.  They had at least tripled the amount of asphalt paddock space and added garages.  I took pictures and sent them to Jay.  I also mentioned that we had to sit around waiting an hour for the track owner to arrive (he lives in Las Vegas and flys into the airport next door).  Jay said something to the effect of "par for the course" so I would guess management is more of an issue.  The owner did recognize my car from the race we did there and mentioned something like "not sure why they didn't come back".

Re: Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch

Utah motorsports campus would be another cool venue for a race.
