Cayuga National Open

A passport is not mandatory for surface crossings... documentation with photo ID will suffice. Since a passport IS required for air travel, most of y'all should have one.

are you sure about that? I know a racer headed to napierville from the u.s. last year was turn away at border, because he left his passport home. unless something has changed recently I think you need one.

"US citizens can no longer cross the border, back into the US, from Canada, using only a driver's licence and birth certificate. Due to changes in U.S. law that took effect June 1, 2009, there are more strict requirements for what identification is required"

I go to Napierville twice a year and also visit relatives in Montreal on occasion. I've needed a passport since the law change in 2009.

It's a crazy time. We have needed a passport to cross from Canada into the US pretty well soon after 9/11.
That was a huge adjustment for me, as I used to cross regularly at Niagara Falls and Fort Erie for shopping and used to travel often enough to the US for work
All I needed back then was some picture ID.

It was a PITA to get my passport, but I'm glad I did it as there are more restrictions now.
I just renewed for 10 years, so I am good for quite a while.

More good news for the stock-s/s guys...the field is limited to 128 car field and your entry fee to the national open gets you in to the super shoot-out

[Rob Petrie E395]

You have to have it. If you don't its a pain in the *** and takes a couple hours to get back in. Don't believe the min wage idiot who takes your money to cross the bridge into Canada at Niagara Falls. They will tell you its OK, you don't need it and send you on over. Learned this the hard way.

Enhanced driver's licences are available in some states and are accepted as an alternative to a passport. New York state residents can get one.....a passport is still the best document to posses.

[Dan Fletcher]

That's what we have for travel into Canada, an "enhanced" NYS driver's license. Show DMV an extra phone bill or two and pay them more money. Makes the world much safer. I love to be "enhanced" by all major acronyms...

Are grade points earned at National opens? I am working on my nhra combo for next year and would be great to get a grade point with the crate motor. If so i may push to have the motor done by the Dutch for a second point.

[Stirk18]

Yes you do receive a grade point for attending a national open.
