need to know when to book flight home. Will a 7:05 departure from SLC work?

I think I was done about 4-430 when I did my course last may. So you “should” be ok with 705 but I would maybe look for an hour later than that. Never know if a truck will break down out there, etc. I was just safe and left the next day in the AM.

you'll be fine as long as the gov't shutdown is over by then. Long Long Long lines with minimal tsa folks working.

Pro-tip, enroll in Clear and you won't have to worry about it at all.

Just a Q, you get free admission to the course when you buy from a dealer right? How long before Ford gives you the invitation?

I bought mine in OCT 2018. Still have not received an "invitation". I just went to the web sight for the Ford Racing Raptor Assault. It give details on eligibility. Must have bought truck new from dealer in previous 12 months.

I signed up with my VIN with no issues.

There are limited # of classes each year, so dont wait too long.

Looked at the website but couldn't tell if it was 2 days or 1 day.

Thanks, JohnnyB

It's really one day, but they want you to come do a check-in/reception dinner the night before. It is not mandatory. The food is not great, but the main reason to do it, IMO, is to find your riding partner for the next day (if you come solo) so you don't get stuck with a ****. From the FAQ on the site:

If I miss the reception can I attend the next day?

Yes, if you miss the evening Welcome Reception you may still attend your off-road driving day starting the next morning at 8:00am. Please arrive no later than 7:30am to check-in at the Welcome Center.
