Learning Resources

We have collected some really useful resources for learning this course configuration:

  • New! Scott Mann’s Turn-by-Turn Track Description of Charleston Peak North [YouTube 15m:3s]
  • Updated! Track Notes Track Map for Charleston Peak North [PDF]. Track width is enlarged so there is room to draw the line. Make notes while watching the Turn-by-Turn video. Print a few more and bring with you for updating your notes at the track.

Track Videos on Charleston Peak North 

Here are some useful on-track videos. We will add more videos as we learn of ones which are useful for HPDE drivers.

Pro Tip: Listen to the sound of the engine to hear where/when the driver is getting back to throttle, and think about why.

General Spring Mountain Information

  • Spring Mountain Motor Resort website
  • See Audi Club’s event listing on the Spring Mountain Member & Event Calendar.
  • CAMERAS – We strongly recommend mounting at least one dash camera in your car if you will be driving in groups which include Spring Mountain Members who will be driving with us. We are not able to vet these driver’s experience or skills, which can vary widely. This happens all day on Friday and in our Instructor groups on the weekend. SMMR’s newer members like to drive with us because our events are safe and calm – in contrast to their club’s private member track days which are full of racers testing for their next event, and open passing is allowed anywhere on track.
  • Spring Mountain’s “other” Track Configuration Page This page shows the “a” variation of the various original Spring Mountain track layouts. Change the lower case letter (from a to b, c, d) in the URL to see other variations.
    As of this writing this page has not been updated to include Charleston Peak. However, we’ve linked all eight CP track maps below!

Spring Mountain’s Charleston Peak Track Maps

There are four possible course layouts on Charleston Peak. This track is designed to be run in either direction, although as of March 2023 it has not yet been run in the CCW direction. Here are maps for all eight configurations:

  • Short Course (13 turns, no T4, T5, T6 & T11, T12, T13) 2.15 mi – CW / CCW [PDF]
