As all of you know MOPAR is well known universally, and thus should be raced wherever there is a strip. Last weekend me and my 66 Charger became Icelandic Champions here in Iceland (a rock in the middle of the North-Atlantic ocean) for the third year in a row. We also set an Icelandic record 12.20@113,92 mph. The class I race in is called MC (Muscle Car). It is a true radial tire class, with such limitations as full exhaust, factory stock suspension, 10" max converter, 500 c.i. engine, stock body and full interior. My Charger is mildly tuned (at least compared with some of the great machines I see Moparts subscribers have) as you can see in the SIG. The Charger was imported new to Iceland. Being a drag racer in Iceland is not a cheap sport, but it sure is fun! A rule of thumb is that the cost of race parts will have doubled (due to shipping, import tax and custom fees) while traveling from a seller in the U.S. to your doorstep. That being said, I want to praise Muscle Motors for good service and products! Drop me a line if you cross the pond and intend to visit the Blue Lagoon or check out the local women. Ragnar in Iceland
66 Charger, 451, .582" lift, 11" conv. 4.10:1. 4118 lbs 11.75@117 mph on regular Firestone Firehawk radials.
Icelandic Champion in MC 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2022.

Congratulations, you did a great job. Good to hear you don't race on ice! LOL
Sorry to see the high govt taxes (they are all taxes of one type or another). I am against excess govt tax whereever it is.
