Default Re: Racecars shipped to Sweden back in the day.

Back then a lot of American race cars ended up over here. One of Ray Beadle's Blue Max cars stayed in Sweden after he made a couple of apperances in Sweden. I think that was 1981 or 82.


Gassers, Pro Stockers, Dragsters and Stock cars was imported. One of them was Bill Jenkins Monza Pro Stocker.

It was quite a bargain to buy a couple of years old race car and you instantly was very competitive or a winner!

One good site to see some of these cars is:

If you have it hard reading Swedish you can always translate it with Google: http://translate.google.com/translate_t

In February 1976 Colorod Magazine is letting us all know that the Jungle Jim Vega has arrived in Sweden.

I remember that one of Jungle Jim's trademarks was him doing burnouts on the returnroad, just feets in front of the stands. Made the spectators wild for sure.
