Spring Mountain vs Firebird
Todd,
I agree with the previous post. I moved to Pahrump and did the engineering and supervised the construction of the orignal 2.2 mile circuit of Spring Mountain for Rupert Bragg-Smith, the original owner/designer. It is a very technical track and a blast to drive. In the past few years the new owners have added more track and a lot of features. It is a great facility with several driving schools (Corvette, ZR-1, Lotus, Radical) with quality folks running the place. The schools are generally more geared toward car control and high performance driving than actual road racing, but they do have advanced courses. I now spend a lot of time at Firebird (Phoenix) and the track isn't as "upscale", but it is hard to beat Bondurant's school for instruction. However, if you are looking for a challenging course and would like to get a jump on future track days, I think a session at Spring Mountain will not disappoint you.
