Signed up for July 23rd and 24th! Was debating on actually going, well after reading this I'm going. Only thing I've noticed is flights out of salt lake are few. One will leave at 5pm and ill get home to Tennessee the same day but i can't possibly make that flight. Next flight will leave at 8pm but wont get to Tennessee til 8am. 12 hour time. He'll no! Guess ill just have to stay another day!

Just got back from raptor assault. I'll give a general review as to not spoil it for those of you yet to go.

Accommodations kind of depend on how you're doing this. If you are coming straight in for the program and leaving after, I would just stay at a hotel in Tooele or near the airport. If you have a day to kill or bringing someone else that needs to waste time. I would stay in Salt Lake City. The track is 20 minutes from the airport and a half an hour from downtown. There are plenty of shops, tourist attractions, bars and restaurants within walking distance of downtown hotels. I went for a hike in the Wasatch Mountains and the trail heads were 25 minutes drive from the Marriott City Center.

Reception was OK, they let you know what to expect the next day and a little bit of history about the track and the program. The reception is not just for raptor it's for the RS and GT programs as well. Food was buffet style, it was OK. I'm not sure I would pay the $40 to bring another person I don't know how much fun they would have, probably best just to go take them out for dinner afterwards.

Driving day is fast-paced the transition from classroom to track is quick. You partner up and the program does a great job of switching drivers at the right time. I never felt like my driving partner got to do something that I didn't get to do. Instructors are professional and top-notch. They get in depth with the technical aspects of the truck especially Baja mode, rock crawling mode and use of the locking differential. You get to experience plenty of examples of each. It was almost as much fun to be a passenger because you were less focused on the truck and just along for the ride. It exceeded my expectations for a free program.

I guess not exactly free, had to buy a truck to get that ticket.

Don't worry pictures or video aren't going to spoil the thrill of you hauling ass through the desert in [emoji266] mode [emoji469] using somebody else's Raptor [emoji12]

My spot for this weekend has 2 empty slots, but it says they arent taking any more reservations. Pretty sure when it gets close to the date they close registration for that date.
