I want to know what everyone’s experiences were like. I own a Ford Focus RS and I know they had the Adrenaline Academy when these were new, but I didn’t buy mine new so I missed out on it. I did however attend a Cadillac marketing event for the first generation V series cars way back in 2006, it was for prospective owners, and that was awesome taking all the V models around the track. It actually stuck with me because I bought a 2007 CTS V about 5 years later. We had instruction and light driver training from some pros including Tommy Kendall, we then took all the V series cars through auto cross courses and the road course at El Toro. We got given a care package with driving shoes and some other swag. What are the experiences you guys have had? Are there any you would like to do someday that you haven’t? I am talking about the factory backed events only.

    I did a great 3 Day event for MINI when I worked for them as a technician at the BMW Performance Center at the Thermal track in California.

    Flew us all out to. Put us in an amazing hotel. Had a phenomenal buffet dinner on the first night and a great breakfast the next morning. Then we went to the track and beat the living shit out of JCW MINIs and M bimmers. It was absolutely amazing.

    We had a great lunch at their training center located on track grounds and went back again for another few hours. It was awesome.

    That night we had a big party at the hotel and it was even crazier than I expected, seeing a bunch of upper management people with the brand getting hammered and just having a good time.

    The next day we got to talk to the drivers/trainers and hang out with them and then we got certificates, clothes and traveling gear. I still have all but the shirt. Not sure what happened to it.

    Thanks for the reminding me of it. It was a great experience.
