Sheesh........seeings how this isn't a tire, gynological, electronics or semi-obscure rock and roll forum,  I didn't think there'd be so much confusion. Just glad I didn't post on the vasectomy forum!

The Eustachian tube is used to equalize air pressure between the middle ear and the surrounding area... Keeping the pressure in a person's head equalized helps with balance and preventing dizziness.

Not what is meant by "stick it in your ear."   :mrgreen:

That would be nuts.

Of course, there is a vas deferens between this and the vasectomy forum.

Tubed, not sure why? Last year I had to pick mine up at the SCTA trailer on the salt.

Okay, I will play. Being new the thread title "Tubes" got me interested.

If you are talking about a cardboard tube with a 2018 poster, a sticker and a hat pin then I got one of those about two weeks ago and yes, that's to the U.K.

If its some other type of tube then I revert to the newbie mantra; sorry, no idea, I'm new here.

Since ours seem to come via goat wagon, I guess this means the goat is tired from the long swim!  :-o :-D

I havn't got mine yet. Probably stuck at the border. The Canadian Border service probably thinks it some kind of weapon.

Didn't you hear that Donald Trump has put a reverse tariff on racing posters and the like?  I think you'll have to pay 10% of the value of your race vehicle to get the tube through Customs.

Sorry. :roll:

Is that in Canadian or US funds

My tube arrived a couple of days ago - Nancy's isn't here yet.  Mine didn't have the sew-on patch, dang it.  I guess I'll pick one up on the salt.

Further investigation has discovered the note saying to pick up the program and patch at the BNI trailer.  Sorry I jawed before looking.

We're in Ontario Canada, and while my buddy received his last week, I still have not received mine. Is thre anything in there I need? My buddy said he has a pit pass in his.
Title: Re: Tubes?
Post by: Dodge Brother on August 05, 2018, 12:40:21 PM
Eldo Yes, pit pass/admission pin is in the tube. I had to pick my tube up at the SCTA trailer on the salt last year. Your membership card should get you past lands end. For some reason my tube arrived a couple weeks ago? I had expected to pick it up at the trailer again this year

Membership cards won't get you past me starting Saturday.  You can talk to me about it, but you might not like the discussion.  Get there early, like Thursday or Friday so that you are all set for Saturday.  The exception to this will be the racers that haven't made it through Tech.
