That is great news. Pro-mods is a cool class.

I'm curious how much it costs to ship a car/crew overseas? Has to be staggering....

40 footer, about $3K or less. Unless you keep the box. You take the pig apart for duty/customs reason. Automotive parts travel a different HC than a full Automoble...

2300 pound HC841490 from Ipswich UK CFS N.I.T. just cost me $600.00 plus customs & delivery TBA...

Joe ask Gary Densham the next time you are at a race, or if I think about it I will ask him this weekend in Vegas. I do know it is a lot of work packing and unpacking. If I go over to Worshams today or tomorrow, I will ask Grant Downing.

Eugene,

I was just ball parking based on Import/Export by Ocean in the Air/Gas Booster and Air Precipitator industry... I'd like to hear what Gary and Grant have to say. for what it's worth, it's tons more money, but tons less paper work to go AIR.

Wow $3k sounds pretty reasonable when you consider the distance! Paying for the crew has to be more than that alone!

It's gotta come back unless a sale has been arranged !
One of my favorite Texas pro mods [ a steel bodied ] 37 Chevy business coupe is over there .

I had to look at the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. after i determined that it wasn't, I think this sounds really cool! I hope a TV network picks it up!

YouTube - Mats Eriksson Record run at Santa Pod in Green Goblin.

2 guys from this side of the pond who will definately be involved in this new event.

it does sound fantastic, lets hope it happens if it pulls the drag racing communities in the us and over here in europe a bit closer together, it can only be a good thing.

3 years ago I was quoted by Kalitta Air to ship a Monte Carlo FC body from Roush's where they are made to LAX in a dedicated 727. Just $175,000.

I asked them how much cheaper would it be if they went ahead and packed chickens and goats around it.

I could see where 4 weeks in a Freighter would be a logical choice!
