Can’t say enough about the experience. Was there last week and it was awesome. Donny was our instructor and he was great. I’ve been driving offroad for 35 years and I learned a lot. The technology in these trucks makes even a novice competent as long as you know what buttons to push for the appropriate situation. Highly, highly recommend this course even for the “advanced” drivers.

Yes, my brother will be your instructor if you want, ask for Donny. Jen will also likely be there, she's dynamite.
-Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses that will keep the dust out of your eyes when you're outside under the tents or waiting for your lap on the Baja experience short track. Hide in the shade as much as possible.
-All the F150 Raptors are on 37's so it'll be a different experience than if you're on 35's with your own truck like me.
-Bring sweatshirt for the morning, but short sleeve shirt and shorts for the afternoon.
-Be familiar with using in car racing radios.
-Be familiar with using in car video recording.
-Ask Donny to take you on a tour of the facility afterwards
-Bring your own snacks and extra water bottle, around noon, box sandwich lunch will be provided outdoors. I recommend grabbing the grilled chicken sandwich - it's filling.
-It's an early start so if you're coming from PacTime be ready.
-Stay at John Potter's hotel the Comfort Inn and Suites, he puts a ton of money into the racing community.
-Hug Hes cafe has very good quality food.

I think you're going to really enjoy it all. You can message me if you want.
I just got back from Raptor Assault and had Donny for an instructor!, he was great. Very knowledgeable and such a fun guy to talk to. He just made the experience that much better. The lap he put in on the baja course with us in the truck blew my mind with how capable these trucks are. I wish i could do it again

What an awesome job to have.

The Baja course demo! I was blown away how much faster the instructors were than I was. An awesome job indeed.

Sorry I missed you guys in person but I was there with you...Tall goofy looking dude with a black plaid shirt...It was one of the best experiences ever by a car company. So worth it to see what these trucks can do all while having seat coolers on! Donny did our demo ride and was phenomenal! Only issue I had was the road keeper camera must have adjusted when we hit one of hundreds of bumps and didn't record the road just the antenna and sky so check often of you go and pay for that option.

I went last year. I also had Donny as my instructor. He’s one crazy dude!

I learned so much about the technology in the truck. My profile picture is me doing the jump. There must have been 800+ pictures. I also got the video but rarely look at any of it.

I’d love to be able to go back like you can with Bronco Off-Roadeo. I live in New England so if I drive to Utah it’s going to be for the National Parks.
