There are plenty of race cars moving to and fro across the border....drag
racers, stocks, various road racers (Mosport, Shannonville, Montreal F1) and
various autocrossers...so I don't think you should have too much trouble.
However someone else might want to comment on this.

Yep, you are right on that one.....esp. handguns. You might also want to watch
out for max. quantities of cigarettes (1 carton??) and alcohol (40oz?) but I
may be wrong on those.... Something else is citrus fruits.....oranges and
such....just leave 'em behind..
> What kind of paperwork will I need? Any info would be appreciated.
Again, someone in the know can tackle the vehicle documentation. I know that
some Canadians coming back may have to prove that they did not make/pay for
mods to their cars down in the 'States but have also heard that it can be done
later via receipts....don't know how critical it would be going the other way
though (since your mods might well cost more up here than down there).
Otherwise to cross the border, you don't need any passport but rather some
sufficient id including either/or birth certificate, social security
no.....driver's licence is good to have. :^) Basically to prove you are a US
citizen.
Can't think of anything else right now and I have to get back to work! So
someone else can fill in details and/or correct me if I'm wrong in any points.
