The Ron Fellows Performance Driving School is one of the main events hosted at the track. As "The Official High Performance Driving School of Corvette," the school has 2 and 3-day programs, as well as private instructions, available for drivers of all skill levels. The courses may be taken in a C7 Corvette Stingray, Grand Sport, or Z06. New model year Corvette owners are offered the course at a subsidized rate direct from General Motors.[3]

The track also hosts Spring Mountain Racing, a maintenance and repair shop for members to keep their Radical and Wolf race cars in top condition before Club racing.[5]
Canadian racer Rupert Bragg-Smith built the first track there in 1998 and then sold it to Morris in 2004.
