Well, I'm coming, with my two cars as normal, my back will be decent by then. Wife and dogs like it there.

This event is quite different than in the past, so I am going to have to go to the bank to get some Canadian $, as the track will accept us $, as canadian......not going to happen. In the past I registered and paid online, it was pretty nice.

No credit card capability at this track either FYI.

I don't have a problem with no credit cards, but offering to take my 133% value $1 for $1 canadian pisses me off just a bit.

Hopefully, the timing and traction issues of the past are addressed, especially with unearned discount rate profits.

Eric,that exchange at par is terrible.If you get there early take your US money to a Canadian bank they will give you the current rate in Cdn.Years back I would go to the NO's in Alberta,if you paid your entry in US your winnings would be paid in US funds.Good luck at the races!. gsa612 ( PS; didn't read your full post I see you have it covered).

The track has been repaired and ground and the traction is and will be spot on.

FYI Don’t assume your US Bank will have Canadian currency on hand. Had to have the Bank of America in Spokane order some last year.

Direct from Dave Mohn: The track doesn't accept credit cards. They will honor an exchange rate for US money.

Greg Gay · 05-28-2019, 10:19 AM

AND I received a similar response directly from the track.

Steve Polhill · 05-29-2019, 12:27 PM

I will be there, But due to other obligations I won't get there until Friday afternoon and have to leave Sunday morning

Any idea what the entry rate in USD is?

I confirmed with the track it's $300 USD if anyone else was wondering.

Sorry that I didn't respond earlier. We ended up finding more problems with the van, unrelated to the breakdown, on Thursday night and couldn't get parts in time to make the race. Then, I was needed to drive tractor-trailer on Friday anyway (end of month). Anyway, I encourage anyone from the US within reasonable driving distance to attend this race. Good payout and just far enough west that they get cars from both Division 1 and Division 3, plus some Canadian cars that you don't often see in the US, so a lot of variety.
