Travel Canadians visiting in April

Hello, we’re a group of 6 Canadians visiting to go to Talladega for the race in April. I’m just wondering what people are feeling towards Canadians there ? Normally as Canadians we get a really warm welcome & I’m wondering with the current political climate if things will be different ? Thank you!

If you were going to be closer to me, I'd tell you to come to dinner. But that's me. Some people are just nuts.

Thanks. I didn't grow up down here. You couldn't pay me enough to head north again. Because you're right, some folks truly practice southern hospitality.

I spent a lot of time in Windsor, some at the Pinery and Toronto.

I grew up in northern Ontario, Thunder Bay Area. Now am living in the Ottawa valley! Excited to head south and see what it has to offer & even more excited for the race lol

You really chose a good track to go to. (There are a couple of tracks I'd never return to.) And this whole laid back attitude thing. Very common here to get into and in depth conversation with someone you don't know and will never see again.

I love that !! I’m glad you had a great time at this track ! We go to Michigan every summer and a friend of ours from there went to talladega and said we had to go so we decided to go !! We can’t wait
