Participant Registration
Registration, which is free, will allow participants to select specific sections (or all sections) of the
cross-country drive in which they plan to participate. The process is designed to be
customizable so registrants can select the entire trip, multiple legs or a single leg of the
program, depending on the level of participation they desire.
We will have a very special post on MotoringFile (once the updated MTTS site is live) that will allow individual clubs to coordinate their plans with MINI USA and MTTS. Look for that post soon.
In the meantime you can check out the updated site with the full route info:

This is a wonderful idea! I’ll be going along for part of the trip, and this will be a great way to stay in contact while the planning proceeds.

We’re hoping to put together a nice welcome, here in Dallas. I’d also like to put together a list of local places for folks to dine or relax.
i hope this trip goes threw new mexico (my state) and it would be cool if they hit route 66 or actually came threw the south part of the state….. have to wait and see
my vote would be route 66

Now waiting required. According to the MTTS link above, it looks like it is going right through NM and on Route 66 (at least that part of the tour).
The information on the specific route, the headquarters hotels in each city, and the special events that have been announced so far — the beach-party send-off in Monterey, the Nashville street fair, the St.Louis tailgate party at the Cardinals game, and the wrap party in New Jersey — are all described on the website as of last Thursday. go to <a href="http://www.minitakesthestates.com" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.minitakesthestates.com</a>, click on any route segment, and then the quickest way to get all the info is to download the pdf of that segment or the whole 15 days. You can also register for the segments in the area close enough for you to take part in.

I’ve been trying for several days now to register for one leg of this, but I get to the end of it, hit “Submit Registration”, and it brings up the following message in a red box:
<blockquote>We’re sorry. We’re currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please press 1, pour yourself a tall, refreshing beverage and try again.</blockquote>
I’m hoping they soon fix whatever problem it is! I want to register!
Why is there no departure location determined for the Washington, DC leg to Jersey City?
