  • Monsoonal flooding hit much of the Southwest, flooding out the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada.

  • Water and covered large portions of the track and support roads, and even affected many houses surrounding the racetrack property.

  • Described as the worst flooding in 18 years at the track, amazingly, only two classes were canceled.


After massive monsoonal flooding that wiped out roads across the American Southwest, including roads in Death Valley and many routes up into the Easter Sierra Nevada, the tracks at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, are largely back in business.

Despite the massive mud and debris flows, only two classes were canceled as a result of the muck.

“We had two Corvette classes that were scheduled during that time (Sunday and Monday) that we had to cancel,” said Todd Crutcher, the facility’s director of marketing. “Due to the hard work of our employees and DoubleM Construction, we were able to get the facility, West Track, North Track, and Charleston Peak up and running for the Tuesday events.”

The only section of track still underwater and closed was the (very fun, when dry) East Course.
