RE: STPR
Mark,
I'm up in Edmonton getting ready for two consecutive rallys here in Alberta.
I won't know if I still have a car until after the next STPR deadline and I'm ready to bag it all because of the overly strict entry policies.

The difference is amazing. Here, we're regarded as valuable entries, are welcomed, picked up at the airport, put up in individual's homes and ferried around even though we're strangers to them. The cars were sent from Toronto to Calgary and back for free to bolster the entry list. The entry is $360 and there's prizes and prize money.
At STPR, we're known and friendly with all the organizers (as it is our local event) and treated like its a privilage to attend. If you're lucky, you win $50 for winning your seed and pay $50, $100 or $650 (or more!) to withdraw!

Boy am I glad I live near an international bridge!
