So how long did it take for folks to get information on the event before you could register? I'm assuming it comes in the owners kit after a few months of car delivery?
Track attack dirver school

My son and I just finished the GT350 one day Track Attack at the Ford Performance School in Tooele Utah this week. I was given a stock GT350 for the day and my son, as a driving guest, drove a GT 5.0 that had been modified for track.
The course included a combination of classroom, heel/toe, skid car, breaking, cornering, shifting, drive mode testing and time with instructors both inside and outside the car. They were quick to let you know when mistakes were made and quicker at giving praise when you did well with a real desire to teach you how to drive this car. My overall driving skills drastically improved - or at least I thought so until the hot laps with the instructors. These guys are experienced pro drivers and I couldn’t believe how hard they could push these engines and brakes! Ford has really built an extraordinary piece of machinery in the 350 – even the pros commented on how much they love driving these cars.
In Addition to the hot laps we both got certificates signed by the instructors, tee shirts, nice trophies and a thumb drive with over 200 photos taken by the track photographer. My wife says I’m way too happy in the pictures and she’s right! Couldn’t wipe the sht-eating grin off my face if I tried! One note: adding the guest driver is a little expensive but well worth it. My son really learned some valuable skills that apply to everyday driving out there. Unfortunately he also learned how really drive my 350 which means a few expensive tickets… hopefully not.
