    Audis at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch : SoCal HPDE

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Right around the corner, the SoCal Audi Club continues the fun with a spring track event at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch (http://www.springmountainmotorsports.com) in Pahrump, NV, April 11-13, 2014. We’ve had great success with the weather this time of year, and we expect nothing less this time around!

    If you have never attended a track event, this would be the perfect time to see what the excitement is all about! It’s a safe, controlled environment that allows you to experience the performance aspects of your Audi. We'll be running the full 3.4-mile configuration.

    Don’t drive an Audi? No worries! Our events are open to drivers of all makes, however, SUV’s, and convertibles without aftermarket 4-point rollover protection are not eligible.

    On site check-in and tech inspections will start at 4PM Friday at the hotel, with a mandatory drivers’ meeting at 8PM. There will also be a first-timers’ meeting at 7PM which is a great opportunity to hear more about the weekend ahead, ask questions, and get comfortable with the event schedule.
    Cost is $495.00, and includes the track time, instruction, lunches at the track, and the banquet dinner Saturday night at the hotel, event shirt and other miscellaneous swag. Helmets will be available to rent for those who need one, but if you’re a first-timer, the helmet rental is on us! ACNA membership is required.

    Rooms are being held at a local hotel, but are being released to the general public after this weekend (March 24). See our website (www.audiclubsocal.org) for more information and registration.

    I'm looking forward to another great SoCal Audi event at Spring Mountain.

    To all those that have never tried an HPDE, this is your chance. This will be my second time at this fun track, and Deeno and the crew really know how to make it a great experience for everyone.

    The only issue is that these Audi (SoCal & Golden Gate chapters) events are so much fun while being a great learning experience that it is very easy to become addicted. I only wish that I didn't wait till 2012 for my first event.

    Hey bud, I wish I could save you a spot but the avant won't be making the trip. I'm just coming down to instruct.

    The rotor rings I need from Alcon are back ordered and not even in the production cue yet.

    I'm making the most of the the downtime by having a brake cooling setup installed as well as custom race pads made by Pagid. I should have it all together by Auditron. You coming up for that?

    You can see why I need brake cooling desperately at this link in my build thread.

    Do it!

    If you haven't already, you'll need to join the Audi Club, North America first as MotorsportReg verifies your membership number to allow you to register for track events.

    Then get signed up.

    Registration closes on April 7th but don't wait as already getting a room up there might be tough.

    Anyway, if you are seriously interested, Deeno might have some leads on rooms or people willing to split a room.


    Hope to see you there!

    Look out for a black TT-RS with black and red wheels.

    Brian T. and I are leaving in the morning.

    photos from the event are up on my fb page. Check the album links there for the event set. Post processing takes time and edits will trickle out between other gigs.

    @s4nAri, I haven't forgotten our deal. Dance Card, AudiTron, session 2. ...only took 2 years
