Canada US Border

Sounds like the Canadian government has also shut the boarder down until next year sometime or maybe if the number of cases start to decrease in the US .

The Canadian side seems to be seeing a small spike in Covid cases as well. We'll all get through this!

I was lucky enough to get my car and all spare parts down before US Nats this year. Cost a small fortune but well worth it to see it run at Indy. Marty and his dad were unbelievable at helping me with all the logistics, working on the car and getting me a W in Indy for class. Reliable Car Carriers where amazing! Division 1 Director Dave Mohn also assisted and without him none of this would have been possible. He stepped up in a big way and showed that he really cares about sportsman racing...even if it was to help 1 car get into Indy. Sean and I have been testing both cars all year. The deuce and the rig are landlocked up here; however we are hopeful that the borders open up so we can get everything down to the states and get an early start next year. Hope to see all my friends to the south soon!

There are ways around it, Dan Mercier and Shawn Cowie have raced at US tracks this season. As far as i know all commercial transport is still allowed, so if they ask, you aren't going racing but rather transporting goods to the race track.

If DOT has hassled you about "commercial" use of your pickup and trailer now's the time to take advantage of that.

Since they’ve already announced the 2021 National events starting later (Gainesville in March) it will be interesting to see the Division schedule. Hopefully our Canadian friends are not going to be hamstrung like this year. If the infection rate remains high you have to wonder if the border restrictions won’t tighten instead of loosen. The thought politicians are controlling this is a scary proposition.
