Anyone done Raptor Assault in Utah?

[megamillionDeluxSlime]

I’ve been considering it, but flying from Texas to Utah for an 8 hour school where you have to split time with another driver hardly seems worth it? Was it really that educational? I don’t understand why Ford can’t do this as a traveling school or at least have multiple locations around the country.

Cause it is not a Ford thing . This is a privately owned company that has a contract with ford . I had the worst time . The guy we were with was just rude as hell all day . My fiancé wanted to be done in the first hour of driving . After finding out about how it is not ford and just land the owner bought and got a deal with ford . I was thinking of doing the same thing have 80 acres in northern Arizona that has plenty of trails . Already have a newly built range area and custom made tiny home on the site . Could easily put a nice size facility up a pole barn with concrete floors and actually have bathrooms in the building . Can put a few porta John’s out along the trails so you do not have to go back and forth . Little more freedom of driving especially Baja mode . Have some super rocky areas that could work for crawl mode . Would definitely be better than the shitty assault school . Something that would really stand out is letting CPO owners get to do the course as well. When I spoke to Ford they said yes that if the first owner did not use it in the time frame and was sold they should be able to . My buddy bought one with 900 miles on it as a CPO and they told him no . What some Cucks

Don't expect much from the food they serve. I've had better hospital food.
Drive part was great. I felt like I could take my truck to the Mint 400 and win!

Sounds like you should either lower your expectations or start your own.

Totally disagree. Other than the food just being ok it was a great experience. The instructors were skilled drivers andvery friendly. The last lap we did with the instructor driving was amazingly fast. Probably beat my lap time but half the time.

Concur 100%. The instructors were professional, courteous, and friendly. Heck, I even thought the food was fine. Sure there are some things I'd like to see improved but overall I was completely satisfied and would recommend it to anyone with a R2.

I think I ate there twice. That's the place with the upper patio and bar area, right?

Yep.
It's a weird quirk of Utah liquor laws. Children can't be seated in a location from which they can observe an alcoholic beverage being prepared. But they can be at a table where adults are consuming alcoholic beverages.

Yeah. I got to experience that at a pizza place in Moab. Totally tripped me and my boy out. We literally stood next to each other, but with this imaginary line the bartender drew on the floor. Stark contrast from Colorado where my son and I bellied up to the bar at a local microbrewery for a drink (beer for me, soda for the kid) and a snack.

I have been to racing/performance driving schools all over the world and, to be frank, you couldn't be MORE WRONG! Even with, if true, that this is a privately run operation in conjunction with Ford I saw no "dislocation" between the 2 entities to ever give any negative impressions. In fact I thought it was a Ford run operation having had ALL THE EXCELLENT INSTRUCTORS who knew the Ford products and promote the Ford products like they owned them! I learned the optionality of all the functions of my Raptor and saw the vehicles capabilities that just amazed me and probably wouldn't have ever found which made my purchase even more fulfilling.

As for your fiance who wanted out in the first hour, well are you sure she was into this kind of activity before you dragged her into it? I saw nothing but smiles from the couples who were there, perhaps it wasn't for her...

I could counter you in everything you have said but won't waste my time. Build your own I would be happy to see how much better you would do and would be your first customer if you want to take the challenge!
