Everything Cdncarnut and Mr Fletcher said. I will add that it is a good idea to have a file folder , everything listed in a typed format. If you have an ownership and original bill of sale have it with you. If you supply everything it gives them no reason to look any further, they appreciate your effort and you go along the way. Welcome to Canada where your dollar is worth $ 1.34 so its a cheap weekend. lol

Every time I see a question like this, I am reminded of the late Larry Sullivan from Drag Race Central. Larry used to drive from race to race in his motorhome. One year, he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had received radioactive seeds as treatment.

He had no problem getting into Canada for the IHRA race at Cayuga, but on the way back into the US, the border guard asked to come into the motorhome for a look. Larry told him to go ahead and as the guard walked by Larry, the radioactive seeds in Larry set off the guards alarm.

That sparked a more intensive search until the guards were convinced that the only thing radioactive in Larry's motorhome was his prostate. They let Larry go through and never did find the Cuban cigars he was smuggling in for someone else.

The lesson is to carry medical documentation if your body might set off alarms.

Many have chimed in allready, but if you are bringing your dog, put together it's medical records. We keep updated doggie files with their Beagle mugshots, license, etc.

I have only been entered at the big crossings:

On the way back to Us

87 in New York(use those limes, they have to enter to throw them out)
95 in Maine(put me in the commercial truck line and the. Hassled me about all the contents of the trailer.).

And lastly going to this race a few years back......somehow I followed what I thought was rv sign ended up in Nexus line crossing into Canada, and they were pissed. They went through everything, had us wait outside. Got a warning. Didn't know the rv had a safe....good thing it didn't have a hand cannon in it!

I have zero issues at the small border crossings. Some want to look at the toys but that's not bad!

Bring your race gas.

Yes REALLY......I have not been back since 1974 when it was easier to cross over to work the San Air race when I was working for Div. one NHRA. The people made us feel not welcome then and they were weird.. Screw Cana-DUH !. Especially the French section !

And at our southern border, some poor schmuck from Nicaragua will b-slap that "border agent" out of the way and waltz right in.

A known US citizen? They'll punk and thug us all day long because they know we're safe.
