Good luck to him

How does one get named "the" Canadian entrant? Is he the only Canuck down for it? I know of at least one other Canadian team that's down there for it - maybe not as high a profile team?

I know of 4 canadian teams for sure.

Should be a good show.

Kick some ass Pook

They had a spot reserved for someone from each of a few different countries. I believe it was a lottery.
