Heed my advice. You don’t want no friends there. If odd number of participants, u can get in your own truck like I did and drive twice as much.

Oh I did shower. But perhaps it was the baked beans I had for breakfast.

I got value as a passenger as well when i was not driving. My co-driver and i got along real well and were cracking up at some of the dumb comments being said on the radio. We would bounce things off one another.

My advice is to be very social at the dinner. talk with as many people as you can, and find a personality that fits you. People were not in pairs until we walked out to the trucks. Would have been very crappy to spend 8 hours in a truck with someone i did not like.

^ What he said. ^ I met my co-driver at the hotel before the reception. Waiting until you walk out to the trucks is too late.

It is pretty cool that Ford offers this program. When I filled out my survey I asked for jumps so you can Thank me for that new part of the course. Now I have to buy a new truck so I can get back!!!

Thanks! FWIW this was not me, just the best jump pic.

In truth, you missed nothing. The start for the jump is at best 20 yards. They make you do it in Baja mode but 2wd. Thus, it’s very difficult to gain speed. If you mash the accelerator you will spin the rear tires. You get 2 chances. If you do it perfectly, which they claim is 35 mph, your wheels may leave the ground, in fact they will, but you will feel nothing. You cannot tell. The “landing” is so smooth because of the incline and landing ramp you are airborne for perhaps a second or two.

Yeah they are pretty strict but I guess they have to be but what the heck I'd still like to go again beautiful spot there !
