Passports are not required, but they make things a whole lot easier if you have them. Minimum you should have your driver’s licence.
If you have any criminal record (misdemeanor of felony), good fucking luck. Sometimes the problem isn’t getting into Canada, it’s getting back into the USA.
If you are military (present or past), bring your military ID. Piece of cake

I crossed going for ubrf trackday last year and it was no problem going thee but comming back they questioned me about all the stuff in my trunk. i don’t think he believed I was racing my taurus then i pointed out that both sides of my car were COVERED in brake dust from the track event and he let me by. + all the melted rubber in the trunk probably helped convince him.
lol, the trailer + SUV full of tools helps get me over quick 
I just checked customs requirements on the peace bridge website, and the governments travel site and it states that passports are only required for airtravel to Mexico and Canada. In January 2008 passports will be required for all points of entry. So you can wait to get a passport until 2008.

I’ve been to Canada probably 4-5 times in my life. It’s been about 6 months since I last went and I keep hearing rumors they are tightening down on security. I’ve never had problems but I would hate to show up or have others show up and not get in because of some stupid rule

Ahh great news Spencer! Thanks for looking that up for us.
Well, I’m going to be there in some capacity. Maybe grilling kabobs and getting drunk again, maybe driving the FD. Should be fun either way. 
Last year for the last track day I went with 3 month expired PA temporary license plate and had no problem getting through the border.
it depends on the bridge you use, my buddy and i went to toronto in his 525i over the lewiston bridge with just drivers licenses and they hassled us and made us pull over for 30min while they searched the car. i bet they thought we were doing a drug run or something. they let us in but “couldnt guarantee” we wouldnt have problems returning. we went to the peace bridge on the way back and the guy only asked if we were american, no probs…
hey i want to get in on this track day, im waiting back on a pm from onyx. im new to nyspeed but i remember zong telling me about it in september at solo ECCN, im interested to see what everyone brings since i thought this was mostly a “non-euro” forum. good to know there will be some b5s there
This is definitely not a non-euro forum, despite what resident asshole newman thinks about volkswagons
edit: nevermind, i figured out who you are matt
you found me. now i just want to pay for this thing, lol
Do you have paypal? If not, just give me some cash and I’ll send both payments in together.

We are allowed to grill at the track, so if anyone wants to cookout, bring a grill and some food!
