Jason's response was spot on, racers from the States routinely transport race fuel to Mosport without issue. I'll let one of our Canadian FOT report back what race fuel costs this year at Mosport, where we buy it by the liter! After the math is done, it usually works out to be about twice what we pay in the States. You need to remember we will be getting a lot more track time than a normal race weekend, so plan accordingly. I usually bring at least 30 gallons, and that does not include the two extra sessions we will be getting for the Cup race on Saturday or our extra race on Sunday. Also not included, the Thursday test day! Those who have not run the track will want to run as many of the test sessions as possible, between the blind corners and elevation change there is a lot to figure out. So add that to your fuel calculation! Remember, our host VARAC does require anyone who has not run Mosport to run the test day.

Message-ID: Phil, While I cannot make it, republishing Henry's guide to Mosport from last year. -----Original Message----- From: yellow04 [mailto:yellow04 at tr4racer.com] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2025 4:12 PM To: Mark Cook Cc: Friends of Triumph Group Email Subject: Entering/exiting Canada w a trailer etc It just so happens that I was asked this year by the event chair of the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix to provide a writeup from an American?s perspective to the border crossing, and what follows is the text I prepared for her that was sent to all US based racers. As everyone should know by now, the 2026 Kastner Cup will be at Mosport, (currently known as Canadian Tire Motorsports Park) and folks from the States will obviously need to cross the US/Canadian border with their fully loaded race rigs. The subject of the border crossing comes up every time I talk to a fellow racer about experiencing Mosport, everyone is concerned that something bad will happen at the border. In the almost 20 times I have done it, I have never had a problem. ~~~ An American racer's perspective to the border crossing I have been asked to provide an American's perspective to the biggest obstacle we have to race in Canada, the border crossing. We have been enjoying the VARAC Vintage Festival at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (Mosport) for about 20 years. The border crossing question is the one I hear all the time when trying to convince my American friends they need to check out my favorite race weekend of the season. My rig has always been an RV pulling an enclosed trailer. First a small Class C, now a medium size Class A. Our point of entry is Thousand Islands, and friends who use the Lewiston Bridge (Niagara Falls) crossing report the same experience. The basics: Passports are required for everyone in the rig. Have all the passports in your hand as you drive up to the border agent and hand them over as you exchange pleasantries. Do not hand the border crossing guard anything other than your passport(s). If they need anything else, they will ask for it. Anything you give to the border agent, they will take the time to read and understand, and you will complicate matters and lose time. The only additional information I have ever been asked to provide entering Canada is the license number of the RV because my trailer blocks their camera view. Be prepared with documentation should you need it. Current registration and insurance information on your tow rig and trailer. Log book for the race car. (I have a couple results sheets that show my name next to the car make and model) I always have this information at arms reach but have never been asked to produce it. Keep in mind your interaction with any border guard will go much smoother and faster if you remain pleasant and answer all questions succinctly without interjecting any humor. Remember Dragnet? Just the facts, ma'am. That's your mantra when talking to any border agent! Do not attempt to bring any firearms of any kind, or any prohibited substances to Canada. Educate yourself on what your limits for alcohol and tobacco are, and what is prohibited. One of the items folks talk about is the requirement of a list of the contents of your trailer. Preparing this list seems like a daunting task, but here are two pieces of good news. First, an acceptable list does not need to identify every item in a tote or toolbox, just the number of totes or toolboxes. If I were to do a list for my rig, it would include the race car, bicycle, 1 large tote of tools, three medium sized totes with tools and spare race car parts for my personal use, one tall toolbox, one short toolbox, two trailer spares, 4 race car wheels and tires, two fuel jugs, 1 pair Race Ramps and a canopy. Done. The other piece of good news, it seems very few veterans of the border crossing even bother with a list anymore. In all the years I have been racing in Canada, I have been asked for my list once, and it was not from the border agent. It was from a person walking the line of vehicles waiting to enter the US. When I told her I didn't have one, she was slightly annoyed and instructed me to prepare the list for next time and kept walking. I didn't find any guidance on the US Customs and Border Protection website about this list of personal property you intend to take with you to and from Canada. If it is there, it is buried deep! I haven't prepared a list in years. Some thoughts on each crossing: Entering Canada: Keep in mind the Canadians are concerned about where we are going and what we are doing in their country. Naturally, their job is stopping any prohibited items from entering Canada, and to make sure people bringing goods for resale in Canada pay whatever duty or tariff they might owe. Since we are going to bring all our stuff home with us, this does not apply to us, racers do not have pay any duty. So be prepared for questions about what you are bringing into Canada. I always say we are participating in a race weekend at Mosport in Bowmanville, Ontario and my race car is in the trailer. Our experience with the Canadian Border guards has always been very easy, and it is for most people. In these days of Big Brother, when your passport gets scanned by the border agent, they see all kinds of data pop up, and their questions will reflect what they see. I believe if you have a permit to carry concealed firearms, that pops up and expect more questions about guns. That kind of thing. One question I get occasionally is When was the last time you were in Canada? Now I think about that one in advance so I have the correct answer ready. Assuming you have lived a clean life without running afoul of the authorities, the border guard should process you in a couple minutes and send you on your way. Returning to the US: Keep in mind the US agents are most concerned about stopping illegal immigration and the importation of illegal substances. It seems a racer returning to the States on a Sunday or Monday does not seem to be a big risk. We typically get a couple of softball questions and are sent on our way. When world affairs warranted it, I had my RV boarded by guards looking for undeclared people. I have been asked by the agent for the keys to my enclosed trailer for an inspection that consisted of opening the back door and peering in with a flashlight. Neither of these have happened in several years. If anything like these things happen, just let the border folks do their job, and you will be on your way in short order. After you get a couple of border crossings under your belt, you realize it is no big deal. Then your biggest concern shifts to how long the line is to get processed! ~~~ The Triumphs returning to Mosport will be a pretty big deal. The Canadians are excited to have us. The event is by far the best race weekend I attend every year. The track is legendary, the racing is extraordinary. More details once we get past Lime Rock over Labor Day weekend!
