I know what the fee's for shipping the car by sea freight are but, over night air shipping just makes me knod my head at the amount of money thrown around to ship the cars back and forth. Die hard drag racers

Kako holds the record for world's fastest SR20. Kako runs the SR20DE and the Mazworx Silvia S15 runs a SR20VE which basically means Kako runs the LS non-vtec motor of SR's and Mazworx runs the vtec SR.

At the sake of sounding like a salesman here, the cost is high!! Yet when time is a factor (which I'm not sure if this was the case here) there are Freight Forwarder's that can assist and guarantee shipments of this magnitude. When I say guarantee, I'm talking Customs. 80% of fees are fuel, security & air freight - insurance & customs fees to process the shipment can be the costly ones. In several air shipments this year alone, I've been able to save my customer thousands in fee's - which makes there decision a lot easier. Instead of an ocean rate which would be 1/4 of the cost of an air shipment - the right forwarder willing to help out, can reduce the cost to a 1/3. If anyone is interested in doing this, I would be more than willing to reduce your costly travel by aiding with the customs work. PM me if needed!

by the way - this 1200 is way cool!! to the Kako Racing Krew

I would imagine the car is staying up here for E-town as well? And are the other cars coming up for it?

As I have check the airfreight price from PR is around $2 per pound so figure with extra parts and whatever else they a freighting their bill has to be between $5000 - 6000.

No the ones that pay are the tracks in here combine with the tracks from Puerto Rico.The split the cost and some of the profits.

Good luck to Kako Racing in NOPI at Atco.
