Title: Anyone going to STPR?
Post by jotham on 05/25/11 at 15:53:55

I'm going on friday morning (third) - leaving from Waterloo. I will return the next day. If anyone would like to go and wants to share a ride, pm or email me.

I'm volunteering at the event, so won't be able to tour around during the stages I'm assigned to.

jotham-

Thanks for coming to "work".

When you are talking to the friendly customs folk, tell them you are coming over to spectate, not to work, the event. I don't think U.S. customs is quite as nasty about this as Canadian, but you don't need to find out.

Also, I usually tell them it is a rally-race, not just a rally. Rally has political connotations, and might lead to you being "invited" inside for a longer discussion.......

ymmv

Thanks for the tip, Jimmy. I've heard a story of one of yours coming up here to volunteer and accidentally saying "work" and then being grilled about it.

I better leave myself a note!
