What are some of the problems that might be encountered
in bringing a trailered race car into and back out of Canada?  
And some seasoned advice on how to avoid or cope?  Car
has no title, plates, etc as might be the norm for race cars.

towing a race prepared bugeye sprite through customs on an open trailer is pretty obvious and frequently a source of amusement for everyone.

the worse trip across was with an enclosed trailer, and a female border guarded mounted an expedition through my shaving kit ....perhaps looking for little blue pills for her boyfriends shortcomings

Bob,

Please pass my address on to Mike Jennings, as I own the 1959-60
"Falcon-bodied Sprite", 5983AC, which was built at the Cape by Geof
Healey and Roger Menadue.  This car was introduced at the 1959 Nassau
Speed weeks and went on to win its class again at 1960 Sebring 12hr,
LeMans 24hr and that years Nassau races. It was then imported into the
US.

This car is currently under restoration with the hope it can be ready to
compete in some of the Sprite races next year.

Tom,

Since I load my race tool box from my regular shop box, I have a list of
the race tool box contents. When I went to Mosport a few years ago, I
also had some general lists of some fo the spares boxes which I improved
and I copied the warrenty cards from my camera, included on one list the
serial number of my generator, the registration of my Honda pitbike and
even the license and vacination record copies for our dog. Passports
weren't an issue then, but we copied the front pages of our passports
too. Today they are both expired and I don't know if they would be
required. With all this preparation, we never were asked for anything
other than drivers license going into Canada or coming home.

When we used to do stage rallies, I can remember one nasty crossing
where we had some general spares and tool lists, but they weren't
accepted, so we were stopped for a long period detailing the lists until
some senior official saw what we were doing and put a stop to it. If you
are prepared, you'll breeze right through.

Roger

At this point the passport issue for land crossings is not fully resolved. 
With the backlog and delays in issuing passports the deadline is a moving 
target, it keeps changing and moved back.  The last I heard it was now mid 
summer, but best to check with US immigration.

On another note, those planning on a long drive to Mosport should be aware 
that the following week SVRA is featuring Sprites at Mid-Ohio.  You could 
get two events in, in one trip.

All,

My apologies if you are receiving this more than once, or if you've already
registered ... I just wanted to remind everyone on this list that you're
invited to the 11th Annual Turkey Bowl at Summit Point (main course) on
Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 23-25) -- and the earlybird discount deadline for
Turkey Bowl entries is this Saturday, November 10th.

Also, great news: the track has just been completely repaved!  No more
concrete patches, bumps or lumps.  It's smooth as the proverbial baby's
behind.

If you enter & pay by Saturday it's only $250 for all three days!  The entry
form is attached, and also available on the VRG web site here:

http://www.vrgonline.org/EVENTS/TURK/07TURKApp.pdf

or go to www.vrgonline.org click on Events, then Turkey Bowl, and you'll find
it there.  You'll also find lots of useful information in the FAQ on the web
site.

If you've already sent your entry, tell your friends!  We can always use a few
more entries and we can accomodate nearly any car, vintage or modern, in
either the VRG race groups or our partner's race groups.

Hope to see you there!

Mark Palmer
VRG Event Chairman

Gentlemen (and ladies?),

I have just added Amedeu Font's Lotus Seven S4 to
SimpleSevens, including photos of his car and a
drawing indicating the dimensions he is looking for to
be able to create a grille for the front of this
lovely Spanish Seven.

Perhaps one of you racers out there might even have
such a piece removed from your car that you could
easily measure up for him?

BTW, Thanks for all the votes on the 50th Celebration
photos! I'll compile them every few weeks and let you
know who's in the lead, culminating in an announcement
of the winner(s) at the beginning of the new year!

Cheers,

Greetings!

My apologies if you're getting this message twice, or if you've already
entered, but I wanted to make sure you got it.  We'd love to have a few more
vintage open-wheel cars for the VRG Turkey Bowl, coming up on Thanksgiving
weekend at Summit Point (main course -- November 23-25).  Right now, this race
group is a little thin, and I'd like to get another 6 or 8 cars to fill the
grid and make it fun from everyone.

Whether you have a Formula Ford, Formula Junior, Vee, Club Ford, or even a
small sports-racer, we'd love to have you join us.  The track has just been
completely repaved and is smooth and grippy.  This is a full three-day event,
full day Friday, plus Saturday and Sunday -- lots of track time!

The entry form is attached, or you can download one from the VRG web site at
www.vrgonline.org and there is lots more info in the "FAQ" on the web site.
Any questions, let me know.  Also, feel free to pass this message along to
friends who may be interested -- we need a few more open wheelers!

Subject: [Vintage-race] Scented tires and more
Message-ID: <bf4.137a2072.346bb074@aol.com>

A while back someone posted about scented tires.  Today I  learned that JEG's 
sells "Fuel Fragrance Additives"  with Supercharged  Strawberry, Supersonic 
Cinammon and Radical Racin' Raspberry being the  first three shown.  
Unfortunately they do not list either Turkey,  Cranberry or Sweet Potato scents or I 
would get some for the upcoming VRG Turkey  Bowl.

Subject: [Vintage-race] Real Castor oil products
Message-ID: <978493.76690.qm@web81312.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Been watching with some interest in all the talk of racing castor oil and wanted to let whoever is interested that I have been running a product that I found to offer the wonderful smell of castor and the benifits of being an incredible upper end lubricant. This product is a Fuel octane booster and real castor blend and i know that most will realize that most octane boosters are snake oil but I wanted this product for the heat seeking tendancies of the castor bean oil. These products are made for the carting racers and many are used by motorcyclists but some of these are for other racers as well and since Fuel is not checked in vintage this product for the price is a welcome addition to my race prep. My particular car is an early pushrod engine that turns 10 K and makes power into the mid 9s so since running the fuel additive my head is always clean and no problems with upper end. I can sell the product or any of you can go see it at the website for Blendzall Products and
 look for Gold label fuel additive and get that incredible smell as well as benifits for $5-6 a bottle.

Subject: [Vintage-race] Repro Lotus Center Badges thru Redline
Message-ID: <417866.62350.qm@web32707.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

NORTH AMERICAN ORDERS ONLY (Canada included)

Greetings gents, and happy Thanksgiving to the locals
:-)

I've been chatting with Mick at Redline regarding the
badges, so here we go!

PLEASE NOTE: I have it on very good authority that
these badges are nearly indiscernable from original.
BUT, they DO NOT INCLUDE FIXING CLIPS of any sort. If
you happen to have the proper clips, they will work,
but recommended method of attachment is silicone
adhesive. 

I will add a link to order on SimpleSevens soon, but
in my tradition of alerting the 'listers' first on
such matters, here's your opportunity to get a jump on
your order.

The badges will be 60UKP each, whatever the quantity.
North American orders are taken ONLY through
SimpleSevens! (others contact Redline directly
please).

SO, EMAIL johnd at simplesevens.org and put 'LOTUS BADGE
ORDER' in the Subject Line. Include the quantity you'd
like and your shipping address in the body of the
email.

I will NOT accept orders through my Yahoo email
account -- they will get LOST!!!

Payment is directly to Redline:
International Telephone +44 1883 346515 where they
will take your credit card information any time after
you send me your order.

Orders will be accepted through December 14, 2007. My
order will go to Redline on the 15th.

Note that I DID NOT KEEP TRACK of previous postings to
this list where folks said they wanted badges, so
you'll have to email me at SimpleSevens as indicated
to get an order in.

Delivery is expected sometime in February. More exact
dates will be posted as delivery nears. Redline will
ship one package to SimpleSevens and I will distribute
your orders out to you. Your payment to Redline
includes all shipping and handling fees. Your badges
will not ship to you if Redline does not confirm with
me that you have paid!

Any questions? Email johnd at simplesevens.org

Now go eat some turkey :-))))

Subject: [Vintage-race] Leeson gearbox parts
Message-ID: <4747112D.2080802@qwest.net>

I need some parts for a Leeson gearbox.  This gearbox is one which would 
be compatible with a Lotus Elan, Super Seven, or any other car using an 
English Ford Cortina based 116E or similar front engine.

In particular, I am looking for a first motion shaft and possibly some 
other parts for my Leeson gearbox.  Apparently Leeson is no longer in 
business.  Any thoughts on where I might obtain such parts.  I have 
already tried Dave Bean.

Thanks for any help that may be out there.

Message-ID: <47471712.5040509@qwest.net>

Any recommendations (either good or or bad) on shipping a sports race 
car across country?  I know there are several companies out there such 
as Horseless Carriage, Interstate, FedEx/Passport, etc. and I was 
wondering if anyone has had experience with any of them.

Also, I know it is a long shot, but does anyone or any race team have a 
transporter going from any of the western states to the southeast in the 
next couple of months who can take another race car (for a fee, of 
course)?  One way transportation is all that is needed.  I am trying to 
get a Royale RP-6 sports race car from Denver to Georgia.  I can deliver 
it to you somewhere along the route if you are coming from California, 
Arizona, Oregon, etc. and perhaps going to Sebring or another 
southeastern venue.

Thank you.

     I've used InterCity twice, both transcontinental, and could not have
been more pleased with their service.
     Good luck regardlessof who you use.

I'll second using Chris Ridgway.  He's hauled two cars for me from the East
to West Coast as well as some other stuff.  He's the most careful packer
I've ever seen and is extremely conscientious with whatever he's doing.

I second the FedEX/Passport use. I used them 3 months ago for from Ohio to
North Carolina.Communicaton was excellent, priced good, excellent service.
I'd definitely use them again.
