2026 ST Experience changes

[Polizi212]

I registered for the 2026 ST experience and boy was I excited. I was trying to decide between Ashville and Park City. Well fast forward a week and I got my invite today. No Park City, No Ashville. Instead it's now offered in the Poconos, Nashville and Chicago. Its 1 day and they don't pay for any lodging.

I had heard the Ashville one was so beautiful and fun I am pretty disappointed it's not an option for 2026.

So now I have to decide which I would rather attend. All 3 are about the same distance from me. But the Poconos is probably the closest.

Anyone have experience with these places or advice?

I registered for Pocono Raceway on Sept 12th. A couple years ago I ran my Mach 1 at an HPDE event there. So much fun!

I bought mine used so I never got to go through with this, but part of the allure of the experience was going to Ashville. That area is on my list of places to retire to once the kids are off to college.

The Asheville one was great - are the 3 new experience locations for the 2026 model year owners all held at actual racetracks btw ?

Got mine yesterday and registered today. Last one in Asheville was nice at Biltmore. Shame there is no overnight lodging this time.

They are offering a Ford ST enthusiast experience it's 200 USD for those who didn't buy a 2026 but are interested in the experience.


I will probably do the Poconos and it seems all 3 locations are at racetracks.

So, here's a question. I bought a 2026 and haven't heard anything from them, do I have to reach out or do they contact me? Was my dealer supposed to do paperwork?

That’s interesting. I may have to look into this. I know it’s pared back a little but I’m looking for reasons to travel
