I would be happy to bring you one of our Canadian XL wieners and stick it up a place that's closer to your digestive system. With the border restrictions I can't bring meat products into the US,but if I held dual citizenship I could bring an AR-15.You refer to some problem you had in 1974 in Quebec while working tech at San Air,checking SFI stickers on wooden wheels.At the time there was a political issue between the francophone and english speaking residents.And in some areas the english were alienated,being that was 45 years ago things have changed.This post was about the OP attending the race at Cayuga in 2019 which is in Ontario.Also I noticed you have bastardized the spelling of CANADA which is home to myself and other posters in this thread,and many members of this forum. GROW UP !!!
Sorry for hijacking this thread,but like Popeye would say;That's all I can stands,and I can't stands no more... gsa612

Terry, I would never allow a bad experience in one corner of the country to cause a 45 year self imposed travel ban. We love our trips to the USA and maybe we’ve been lucky, but I expect there are Canadians that share your disdain for crossing the border. My wife & I own a tiny piece of your homeland and the members of our adopted community have always been welcoming, honest and respectful....just sayin’.

The border guys at the Manitoba/North Dakota lines must be a jovial bunch. I have never had them peek inside the motorhome nor the trailer to check my wares. The first time I took my dragster over the US border, I stopped in on the Canadian side and had them issue a type of ID number which they stuck on the car so when I came back home they had a record of my car and knew I wasn't bringing up a new toy from the US. If you have a clean history crossing on both sides it usually goes pretty easy both ways. Always look a border guard straight in the eye!

Easy for you to run your mouth when you're 1500 miles away. I'd like to invite you to Cayuga later this month so you can tell us how you really feel. I'll pay your admission.
