Click on the "If you do not have an Invitation Number, click here. "
Link on this page and maybe you might get one.......

https://www.mclasstour.com/registration.asp

It takes you to a questionaire, and then a contact page.
Hopefully some people can get some invites, and I might see ya there. I'll be there at 12:00pm on May 1st

Nice find

After I hit submit for the registration form, I only get a black screen after that...no confirmation or anything to print out...is that normal?

Any of you guys getting some kind of confirmation after hitting submit?

I tried it 3 times and same result. I also turned off my pop-up blocker as well.

Unhappy Boston location dropped...

Got my copy of Momentum last night and it mentioned the rally, so thought I'd try the URL again to see if I would get a confirmation page to display.

BOSTON HAS BEEN REMOVED as a venue. Looks like NY/NJ are in there now in similar dates. I fired an email off to MBUSA, but doubt it's a mistake. Seems like the rally won't come here.

Very, very disappointed...

whaaaaat.....I eventually did get it to give me a confirmation page. The confirmation page had errors apparently but I used a different browser and I got through. I got my confirmation e-mail and everything and haven't heard anything from MBUSA yet...

Plot thickens...

Think I figured it out...

There are two URLS for this tour:

https://mclassroadrally.com/default.asp (Boston replaced with NY)

http://mclasstour.com/default.asp (Boston listed, no NY)

The 1st URL is what I found in the Momentum magazine. Wondering if mclasstour was/is an internal test/staging site.

I just got the Momentum magazine today and the url they have listed is:
www.mclassroadrally.com/momentum

it is no longer a valid site and redirects you back to www.mbusa.com

i'm thinking the www.mclasstour.com is the right one...10 cities just seems too few for a tour across the country as well as LiquidSmile received an e-mail invitation with a registration number for a location that is listed on www.mclasstour.com and not www.mclassroadrally.com

I just went to the M-Class Road rally Yesterday. Here are my pics. Pretty impressed with the interior. The Suede in the Ml500 was so much better than the leather in the Ml350. The seat warmers also work almost instant. The 500 does not pick up quite as fast as my Ml 55, but it is no slouch. I have a feeling we will be trading in the ML55 for a new AMG Model.
