Canadian Boss owners not eligible for Track Attack!
Wow is all I can say. I have been making arrangements to attend Track Attack for June 20'th and was told today via email by Bryan Samuels (who has been very helpful and seems genuinely disappointed) that Canadians who purchased a Canadian Boss are not eligible to attend for the free day because Ford Canada wasn't participating financially...
WTF.
I purchased a Boss through a Canadian Dealer (that cost me about $8000 more than US MSRP) but am not eligible to attend. This is a huge disappointment. Frankly I almost can't believe it.

Don't take this lying down!
Perhaps you can go up the food chain here, I can't see why Ford would want to take a big PR hit for something like this? (Deysha?) Perhaps some polite and heartfelt requests can be put through to the proper channels and you can get some traction on this? 
Then if that fails you can raise a bleep-storm of negative internet publicity as the jilted Boss lover who got the shaft from Ford of Canada!

Not that you should have to pay for this experience, but was Bryan able to offer you a day that you can pay for instead, just curious. I am gutted for you. That is terrible news.

I can't say I was specifically told or not told about its inclusion. I would have guessed if you purchased a boss you were eligible. Why would I think different?

I mean you no insult, was just curious if you had been told it was included and were now finding out otherwise. I truly hope it works out for you.

That is very uncool. If this was the case they should have done a better job of making this fact known to the public. Up till now nobody knew this was the case 
BAD PR
John it is not as far as I read, even if you sell the car the second buyer can not use it only the original owner.

The owner can send others in their place. But I think there are restrictions on who can go. It's on the track attack website. I looked at it briefly while I registered. I had to pick whether I was going or sending someone else.

As an aside, I am literally sitting in Oakland Ford working a deal on a Fiesta as I read about this. Thinking seriously of walking out and buying anything else in protest.
