    Nice perk! Ford is thinking.

    Did Honda even give me a keychain? Nope.

    They have a deal for people who do this: $79 for the night at Comfort Inn Hotel not too far from the track. 400-500 round trip flight. Car rental, IDK. Food/other crap 100.

    I actually really want to do this.

    I think mines expired now. But like Shlade said a bit too expensive right now with the flights and such as we were planning to go down and do it

    Yours is for sure expired. Only lasts a year from the date you bought your car and they confirm that when applying for it

    I got to swing in earlier this year for one of the events, it's not that great IMO compared to the Audi/BMW/Porsche driving academy.

    Bump - did anyone end up going down to this? I just picked up a FoST last week and am considering checking it out in the spring.

    My sister went and she had lots of fun. She sent me videos of some of the stuff she did and brought back a bunch of swag you can only get at the event.

    Man I wish I did it when I had the chance... but with flight prices, hotel (which is offered at a discount through the school) , car rental, it would of been around $1600 if I recall... plus extra you'd likely be pushing $2000 for the trip. This was around April 2015 time that I had planned to do it

    Does this still apply? I'd like to do it once my FiST arrives later this year:

    I got my letter a couple of months after I took possession of my Focus and am heading down in June.
