Racin'Jason 8 02-20-2007, 02:53 PM This may sound like a silly question...but I have heard many rumors of crossing the Canadian border. I have a traditional International Passport...is this acceptable?
Rusty22 02-20-2007, 03:20 PM it should be. bring your birth certificate and some photo id also. it will all help. what way will you be coming up because the border where i live (between cornwall,ontario and akwesasne ((hogansburg)) new york) the border is kind of laxed i find. but any id will help

Racin'Jason 8 02-20-2007, 04:28 PM Haven't mapped it out yet, but I believe most guys from this area take 87 all the way up. Thanks for the info.
ovalmaster 02-20-2007, 05:00 PM Passports are not too much of an issue yet for those travelling by ground. A passort would be your best bet, but any form of picture ID will do this year. I would also recommend bringing a photocopy of the race flyer with you.
I travel the US/Canadian border every week and try to bring as much info as possible as to where I am racing.

ToddFalkowski 02-27-2007, 10:42 AM Hey Eric (or Steve): What are the rulings, if any, on taking rental cars across the border? I visit NE for work at times, and would just assume make the drive up there in a rental instead of doing the extra flight... Any suggestions here?

A couple of months back I hit a deer and smashed up my car, in the mean time I had a rental van from budget rental and we crossed to race in canada without any problems, just make sure you have you rental paperwork with you

GA DAWG 03-05-2007, 11:31 PM ...This is hands down the best oval race of the year...BAR NONE. :thumbsup:

FoamDonut 03-06-2007, 12:01 AM Troy your showing your class with that comment. I know for a fact this race will have 2 of the last 3 Snowbirds Stock class winners in attendance. Maybe you should attend and show how good you think you are.
ericsalvas 03-06-2007, 08:29 AM yea the best race that nobody has ever heard of or been to!

eric

FoamDonut 03-06-2007, 08:42 PM Missed some good racing at Pro Advantage last weekend Weapon you need to get back to get your spanking again. lol
davepull 03-07-2007, 01:20 AM yea the best race that nobody has ever heard of or been to!
dude shake n bake . lol The Rock is a awesome place seen the video's heard the stories. light shows, driver interviews, and church!!
FoamDonut 03-07-2007, 08:43 AM Dave you have to make the trip one time as well. It would be my pleasure to take you to the front row of the church you speak of.
davepull 03-07-2007, 07:34 PM Steve trust me man I want to got to this race very badly. just work has been extremely slow so just don't have the cash or time. Maybe next year.
GA DAWG 03-07-2007, 07:48 PM So how many people were in 19t and open mod last year? Not really interested in traveling 1000 miles to go SLOW!What happened to 6cell stock? Though I'm always up for a roadtrip,Are the pre-entries posted anywhere? With all due respect are we over a 100 yet ? How bout a rolecall! 10 years ago we had 400 racers at 5 to 6 different races.WE need better turnouts ,and I don't know how we are going to get back to that time.Mabee if we had a thread that we spent less time bickering on and more on how to get and keep new racers racing we wouldn't be having these problems! My first suggestion is get the factory guys OUT of 'stock'. Hows a newby supposed to stay interested when he cant get within 4 laps of the leaders in the slowest pancar class!! thats no fun.What do you propose we do no wonder we can't keep new guys. maybee 6 cells for factory,4 cells for the learners. Come on guys 19t is no more expensive than stock,lets leave some room for growth. just a thought troy

I believe you started the bickering with your personal attack on the race...
dave w 1 03-08-2007, 03:28 PM Oh Oh!
GA DAWG 03-08-2007, 08:17 PM I believe you started the bickering with your personal attack on the race...
Not an attack,just an observation.
beekman 03-08-2007, 08:51 PM my personal opinion is i think stock is harder for the fact you need to be perfect.setup,gearing and most importantly driving.like restricter racing lol if you make a mistake in stock you can easily lose. just my 13 cents!
dave w 1 03-08-2007, 08:55 PM Heres 12 More Cents Now Paint My Body Lol!!
GA DAWG 03-08-2007, 09:12 PM my personal opinion is i think stock is harder for the fact you need to be perfect.setup,gearing and most importantly driving.like restricter racing lol if you make a mistake in stock you can easily lose. just my 13 cents!
19t is glorified stock all the above is just as important, but the cars are faster and you occasionally have to use the trigger finger making driving a bigger factor, not the opposite. I believe the spread from 1st to 9th in stock and expert 19 was pretty close at the birds .Point being majority of those guy s should move up and let some new blood make the show instead of the same ringers year after year after year.....
Tommygun43 03-08-2007, 09:17 PM There is a seperate class for novice racers that uses a 540 motor.
This race usually sells out, I think about 95 racers (however many pit spots are available). Might not be the biggest race of the year but I would agree, it's one of the best. The track and facility are top notch.
mcRacing 03-08-2007, 09:18 PM Troy you realize stock is the biggest and most competitive class at any race
