Agree - my wife and I had a blast today. Favorite part was the Baja course at the end - likes it even better than the jumps.

If I were to come back I’d stay downtown and drive to the facility.
For the foodies, I highly recommend Pretty Bird and Red Iguana.

It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife today. Truly and amazing experience they gave us today. I have a lot of GoPro footage that I will post and let you know when it’s up. Have a safe trip home!

I did it twice, in 2017 and in 2019. 2019 ended up at Assault. It was a fun day. But two weeks prior in Moab and Lake Powell was insane.

Now that I have a new 2020, I'm trying to recall, but I think I get an invite via mail from them, is that right? Or do I go on their website with my vin and just book it?
I went to the site with my VIN. I knew more about RA than the dealership did. I didn't get an invitation and my '19 was a factory order.

Same here, when I asked the dealer about this they knew NOTHING. I went online and entered my VIN after a few months. After that I did get a letter.

Folks, this is not rocket science. You get your Prius, I mean Raptor, call RA, give your VIN and you're in! Easy peasy.

Yeah, I went on the RA site, registered. Again. And I could’ve booked a date. Having done it last year during our 4 week drive there and back, and not wanting to drive that far now, it’s not worth flying out there and all that goes with it. Had I never done it I surely would.

it is definitely lightly attended in comparison to the past few years. There were almost no fully booked days. Last year most days were.

Just finished the class and it was worth the wait. Just an FYI I stayed at the comfort inn on their site and there was nothing good around it to eat.It was nice and clean but there is a holiday inn that is closer to the class in town. More food options and a sports bar brewery right next door to it if you might want a few barley sodas FWIW
I Stayed at the Comfort as well when I went and also ate at the brewery sports bar wasn’t too fat from comfort Inn but the Holiday Inn looks newer
How’d the class work out during the COVID Time?
Were u able to find a person ok with not wearing a mask?

Were there trucks with only one driver or do they just use fewer trucks?

Hooked up with woolaroc and we agreed to not wear masks. We had a great time, lots of laughs.

They never sent an email, and my dealer didn't even know anything about it. I did get a pamphlet in the mail but by that point i had already signed up.

When I went it was fully booked but I wound up alone in my/their truck. If you don’t attend the dinner (which is very good) the night before you won’t meet anyone to buddy up with and will end up with a straggler or in my case I felt at first like Forrest Gump when he tried to sit on the school bus. “Seat’s taken.”

I did go to dinner they held but due to severe accident on highway on way there, we were almost an hour late. Everyone had, unbeknownst to me, used the gloryholes in the bathroom stalls already and buddied up. :lol:

I think someone didn’t show so I was odd man. Believe me, I was thrilled as I got twice as much driving time as everyone else and I wasn’t forced to smell anyone’s farts from night before nor make BS small talk.

I didn’t get to do twice as much on handling course or very lame jumps but it was in the mountains, the real fun part, that when they would radio to stop and switch drivers, I didn’t have to.
