Has anyone done this in the past? We know about the forms and processes to attend an event like waterloo. We want to just pass thru.

In all the years I've been travelling to competitions in the States with 296 and then 1503, we've never once been stopped on account of tools and equipment carried across the border, in either direction. On 296 we never prepared any paperwork; on 1503 last year we had an itemized list of the contents of the cargo van (listing items and country of origin) as well as an export control form for each way, but were never asked to show anything to anyone.
I don't think the rules would be any different for just passing through. Someone at GM might know more; I imagine it would be common to go through Canada when visiting the Tonawanda plant, for example.
