Drive to Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch and Pahrump Valley Winery Restaurant - This tour to Pahrump for a highspeed track session and then lunch at Pahrump Valley Winery Restaurant had something for everyone: a scenic drive through the mountains, track time on the fullsize 3.1 mile racetrack, a tour of the winery complete with wine tasting, and fine dining at Pahrump's only 4 star restaurant. We met at 10:00 AM at the last gas station on the way to Pahrump at Route 160 (Blue Diamond) and Route 159. We then departed at 10:30 and drove over the snow covered Spring Mountains to the racetrack at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch (800) 391-6891. We then ran some fast paced parade laps at 12 noon. Our host was Spring Mountain General Manager Dave Petrie, Lindsay Shepard and Mitch Burlake. Then at 1:00 PM we proceeded another mile west on Route 160 to the light and turned right onto Winery Road for another mile to The Pahrump Valley Winery at 3810 Winery Road (775) 751-7800. |
