Wild!  The Vixen even has a poptop, if you peruse some of the refs. Bob
sent.  Wonder what it's lap time at PIR was, they didn't give that.  There
is a pic of it going through turn 9...with a little body roll, yes, but
pretty good for a camp vehicle.  My GT-2 Porsche 928-based racecar's best
lap at Portland was 1:14.  Vanagon would likely do around 10 mins.
