New Teen Driving School with real-world training at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch
Pahrump, Nev. – Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch (www.racespringmountain.com) has announced its new, hands-on specialized Teen Driving School as one of the latest performance driving programs at the sprawling 200-acre professional motorsports facility with private 3.5 mile road course. One-day courses taught by professional drivers are priced at only $495 for teens one weekend each month and designed specifically to teach teenagers many critical skills that are not taught in traditional courses, such as how to avoid accidents and honing safe-driving skills. Plus, parents get the peace of mind that their child has the best protection while driving.

The students will attend a six-hour program that includes taking specially equipped “skid cars” that stimulate slipping and sliding to learn how to avoid crashes and come out of skids safely.

Teens will learn how to deal with a variety of real-world driving scenarios, including how to control a vehicle when things go wrong. The teen safety course consists of introduction to ABS, accident avoidance, slalom car control in both dry and wet conditions, precision backing, cornering, seating position, dealing with distractions, emergency situation maneuvers, controlling emotions, and basic vehicle maintenance. Spring Mountain offers a range of vehicles from its fleet for the teens to drive during the school, including Mini-Coopers, a Yukon suburban, and an automatic Corvette.

“This is a great opportunity for teens to learn how to drive in a safe environment and avoid accidents, plus build a foundation of safe-driving habits,” said John Morris, president of Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. “Our teen driving school is dedicated to teaching driving skills, car control, behind-the-wheel defense, and helping kids gain a positive attitude when they’re driving.”

Upcoming summer sessions for teens ages 15 and up are scheduled for June 13-14, July 25-26 and Aug. 22-23, and fall courses are available, too. For information, reservations and future sessions, visit racespringmountain.com, call 800-391-6891, or e-mail sales@racespringmountain.com.
