Re: Cayuga National Open
I think details are still being finalized by Dave and his crew but, Atco is going to be $20,000 USD for all three .90 classes and Stk/SS. I think Pat said they were doing away with the points for this year and adding Toronto and possibly one more Canada track in the future to go along with Naperville.I'm sure they will be making an announcement shortly on all the events.

Re: Cayuga National Open
I like the idea of this - always enjoyed racing at Cayuga. Back in the day they actually paid $$ for setting a National Record. Looking forward to hearing the details. And - the exchange rate favors the US racer right now.

Re: Cayuga National Open
I understand that there will be two Stock--S/S Shoot-out races that week-end each having a $10,000 purse...also the rumor is that IHRA cars will be allowed to race the shoot-out if they have an NHRA driver license...there will be a separate entry for the shoot-out race...more details to come...mark June 17-19,2016 on your calendar...Don't forget .I think you need a passport to cross the border...great race for the Div. #3 and #1 racers...it looks like a clean weekend so far....

Re: 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.

Re: Cayuga National Open
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.

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.
