Greetings,

I'm a new member and have an 05 C230 K on order.

I am very interested in going to the C Spot either at the end of this month in Las Vegas or the first week of June in Orange County (OC would be easiest, since I live here). However, I'm not sure how to go about registering. It says I need an invitation number? Not sure what that is, can anyone help me out?

Have you called MB yet and told them about your wishes. With your 05 on order I'm sure they would be happy to accommodate you.

So I called MB Customer Service (not the dealer) and they said invitations are based on marketing demographics. Only those people who they want to drive, and potentially buy, a Mercedes are invited. I cannot ask for an invitation.

Any other suggestions.....

Just register here: C-SPOT

I tried that too.....it asks for an invitation number. Unless someone on the board is invited to the OC one and willing to invite me as a friend, I'm 86'd out.

It's not a REQUIRED field. RIF!!!!

Go ahead with the registration process without it, assuming that there are any spots open.

I just registered for the OC session yesterday at 9 am on Sunday. If you can't register, I'll sign you up as a guest.

no need for a invitation number. Anyone who signs up can go, regardless if you drive a MB or not.

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much. I'm registered for Sunday between 4-6pm.

oggle

I'll go hehe. My goal is again to get myself kicked out. That's the only way to have fun!

tom incredibie

signed up way back. signed up for the el toro one. gotta check what day and time though.

again to get kicked out??? what did you do the first time?

my uncle almost got kicked out last year when they held it in Boston. He apparently turned off the ESP and was fishing through the course (perfectly, didn't hit one cone) and the guys at the finish were just starin' at him. When he got out of the car, they all cheered and clapped for him :p

oggle

That's exactly what I was doing the whole day. Except in my last run, I had a lapse of memory and completely forgot what the brake was for and bulldozed 3 cones.

In the Charlotte event, they couldn't care less what you were doing . . . until they had to go set the cones back up. Then they got a little torqued.

Spent every run ESP off, sliding, squealing, and slicing the course. The only thing that they would say upon returning is "Lane number 1 please".

I was actually surprised that they didn't try to tone it down some (although I didn't hit anything).

I bought one off ebay yesterday for $29.00.
There are others available.
