Has anyone registered for the ST Driving Experience and participated? I was told by my dealer that there was a 18 month to 2 year waiting list. Any experiences?

If that’s really the case, I believe you’re SOL. The offer is only good for 12 months from date of delivery. In our case, there were no slots available. But, I checked back frequently and there apparently were cancellations that freed up slots.

2022 Registration is open, first group to June is probably full.
Call them, 435-27-SPEED. Find out when the next group is opening up.
I bought my ST In Sept 21, and checked the website daily…. They finally opened it up in early Feb 22 for the first group. CHECK EVERY DAY.
I snagged the first week of June 22, good luck, be persistent!!

They run monthly classes until October. There will be plenty of classes that have still yet to open up for registration. I’m looking to do a late summer early fall at the NC location.

I bought my ST back in May 2021. Tried to register but all dates were filled. They told me registration was closed for the year but was reopening again after the first of the year. To my surprise, they contacted me in late January 2022 to let me know registration was open again. I managed to get an early April date at Biltmore. I've watched a few YouTube videos for the Asheville event. They got us psyched. We're looking forward to it.

I must say I was completely shocked to hear from them to let me know the registration was open again. Completely unexpected. I thought for sure I was out of luck. Ford followed up. Kudos to them.

What day exactly are you going to Asheville? I'm scheduled to be there on April 5th. Are you driving there or flying in? I plan on driving down and catching the tail of the dragon on the way back, it's only 90 miles west of Asheville, go up thru Knoxville and catch 75 to Cincinasti then 71 back to Cleveland. Yeah I'm your neighbor, I'm in North Olmsted.

Went to Park City last year. Had a blast. Definitely recommended. Left the wife at home and brought a buddy who is a 'car guy'. Lots of bourbon, catching up and just a blast. The instructor said "Listen, it's not your tires, your brakes or your transmission. So drive it HARD". Good times

I went by myself, and it was a blast. Actually got first place in the autocross event. I was the only one to drive the course in under 30 seconds. But I will say as fun as it was, driving the tail of the dragon on my way home was far more exciting than any part of the ST experience.

Here is the trophy when you win the autocross

And of course the time sheet
