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.
