Dajiban Grand Prix! (awesome Japanese Grassroots racing)

For a country with so many weird cartoons the lack of van murals is disappointing.

Just Google "bosozoku."

I'm a fan of Dekotora myself but both make the racing Dodge vans look plain.

This will fit nicely here. A 1962 VW bus with a 520-hp 996 twin-turbo engine.

Nah, I'm a Ford Guy and neither the GM vans or Econolines would work for the Dajiban look I don't think.

One of the biggest perks to the dodge van vs FOMOCO and Chebby is that the Dodge vans are unibody- makes for a lower height starting point. Safety first when racing full size vans!

advantage in driveline goes to late model express vans though, LS power.

Damn that's a good candidate. Glad it's so far away from me. Oh wait I already have a 500 dollar van in my yard. 1986 GMC w/ 350. Evil thoughts.

Yeah, I saw that one. It is close--both regarding condition and location.

Thanks. I think.

You know you want to...

Heh we'd never get away with that here. No roll protection, some with no harnesses, one guy was wearing a short sleeve shirt... I guess after racing bikes that seems safe enough.

That sums it up well.
