Bud,

Get the passport. It will save you a lot of hassles. Had one for years as we cross back and forth all the time to head to NHRA Division 6 races.

As Venice and Sammy said, leave the attitude at home and answer all questions with please and thank you's.

Again on the way home or going, there are times best suited to cross to avoid the traffic and congestion. This year US Customs started x-raying the race car trailer just like they do the big trucks. Maybe that's why the race car glows in pictures shot at night! Hehe...

Enjoy,

Mike Ferstl

Yes,the passport will be required as of Mid-2009. Went to get some parts yesterday in Montana & the guy I was with was very politely told to do so soon. Don't try to hide anything especially guns & knives & take your sunglasses off when crossing. Make sure you have ALL your paperwork handy if you are importing anything. I had one item that happened to not have a packing slip & they did a "bit" of a search just to make sure we were OK. The whole ordeal took about an extra hour.
