LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 i didnt realize until just a little bit ago that my Enhanced Drivers License(alternative to passport) hasnt showed up yet. i still have my temporary one and need to go to canada this weekend. someone told me i dont need to worry being that the regulation is new and my temporary one is fine but should bring my birth certificate. everything i have read on the net says that my temporary one wont work but everywhere i see it, it looks like it is just copied off of the governments website. does anyone here have any first hand experience with this lately? should i just go and take my chance?

Madness Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 The last time i saw anything about it on the news they said nobody would be turned down till the end of the summer because of everyone going to mexico for vacation and from what i can remember both borders were going to be closed unless passport at the same time. Dont just go off my word though. Quote Link to comment

dat521kid Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 they will still let you across but not without talking shit to you all this is just about money, the worst that can happen is they make you late a couple of hours and slap your hand but they cant deny a citizen in or can they? i mean over a passport?

Are you serious? This is post 9/11 America not good ol free America lol. Be lucky not to get out of there walking like a cowboy and smelling like ky. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I read on the state of Washington site: The problem is not getting into Canada, but is returning to USA. You must have passport or EDL. Imagine having to wait a couple days in Vancouver, visiting the consulate to get it straightened out. Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 i ended out leaving and taking my chance. i actually had more troubles getting into canada. they made us park and go inside and wait for a little while. coming back they only checked the driver and passenger in the front seat. they didnt even ask for anything from me or the three other people in the back. but thanks guys for the info, it helped me make a decision on whether to take a chance or not.

City Hunter Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 what class are you driving in? I just got into karting a bit. Rocking a 2002 trackmagic dragon with a kt100 Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 i run an '09 topkart in the world formula class regionally for a team and my personal kart is an '02 CRG with a TM125 Quote Link to comment
City Hunter Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 world formula, thats briggs isnt it? I'll probably stick with the kt sprint for now. With me we have enough people to start a class back up. I'm looking into getting a old formula A aircooled rotary or reed engine for a fun kart though. Looking at the tt75, crg rotary, and maxter mx-l Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 yeah its a "spec" briggs motor. the kt classes fell apart regionally but we still have a bunch of motors left so my sister runs it in the local club races. you pretty much have to have a world formula or one of the tag motors to be able to race in a decent class regionaly. the motor builder that offered me a ride for the season strictly does 4-cycle motors so thats what i was stuck with.

City Hunter Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) yeah thats what I heard. Good news for the kt class is, I gues with me, they will give us our own class back at the gold cup coming up at the beginning of july. How old is your sister? If she can do formula kt or kt senior she should get in on the gold cup. My buddy dave and me will probably be battling for last place lol. I just need to try and get a set of used yhc tires.

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 thats cool theyre bringing back the kt. she actually runs junior rotax in the gold cup. if you are runnin at mcminnville, i could bring a set of decent used yhc tires. Quote Link to comment
City Hunter Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I might have tot ake you up on that offer. I'll let you know pretty soon. Quote Link to comment
