5th Annual MINIs on the Dragon (May 3-6, 2007)The 5th Anniversary of the largest MINI event in the nation. Ready to take your turn trying to tame the Dragon?
Originally the passenger seat reg was supposed to be available until April 29th. I bet that may screw some people who were waiting till the end to reg.
My buddy and I are 2 of those -- when did the change come about? I wanted to register.
The decision was made a few days ago to change it so that all regs ended last night. :-(
Well, it's just weird that there was no announcement on the "latest news" page. I'm sure it was noted some other places, but when a deadline is shortened (as opposed to just extended), a lot of people (as you pointed out) are going to get "screwed". Not everyone checks the forum on a daily basis -- and even some, like myself who check it obsessively, are not going to see a deadline change -- as was the case here.
But, oh well, at least I can still register the 8 Ball.
It was on the main page for MOTD 07 in big green letters. I'm not sure how one could miss this when in order to view the MOTD discussion you have to go to that page.
Not if you bookmark the MOTD discussion forum, or if you know the link from memory. For example, I memorized that the forum number is 176... and I can go directly to that link from any browser.

Post delteted. I memorized tons of NAM links but most people do go to check for new posts in a certain thread being that it is an upcoming event
Regardless........Why wait till the last minute to register if you know your going?!
i wish it were otherwise, but unfortunately in my job it is not uncommon to be told at the last minute that I will be working over a given weekend. The longer I wait to register/pay for events, the less likely that it'll happen -- although still possible, unfortunately. that's why my Outlook was set to warn me of the last day for Monte Carlo and MOTD registrations.
When was it decided to close registration early? I certainly didn't see any mention of it, and I am on here a LOT.
It's not a matter of snoozing...it is a matter of noting what the closing date was, then discovering it has changed.
I think all NAM members should have been mass-PMd as a heads-up to those wishing, (for whatever personal or financial reasons), to register near the original closing date.

+1
You should at least give the procrastinators a fighting chance
In all fairness to Mark, this is a tremendous undertaking, and sometimes things don't go quite as planned. I know eager2own has now been registered, and I am sure Mark will do what he can for anyone that may have been affected by the change.
