Thanks Doug

Fortunately, the internet puts us on equal foot with American drag racing regarding access to parts. But the price we pay is diffderent. The rule of thumb is to multiple the dollar in store price in the U.S. with 2, when we estimate the final price of the race stuff we buy. The price rise is due to freight cost and a VAT tax between 11 -24,5%.
The race season is reasonably long; from middle of May until middle of September but we have frequent delays due to rain. There are two drag race tracks here (Icelanders are 330.000 people) so I´d see we are pretty well set.
