Very well-done video. Those guys would fit right in here.
Of course, I don't know how anyone can take those cars seriously when they aren't hella flush and running 10 degrees of rear camber 
Bonus: You can sleep in your race car.
You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Detroit.
I want to see a series like this, but using AstroSafaris. Chevy V8s and circle track parts? Done.
I watched. Cool.
I did find it interesting that all the vans were full window versions. No windowless versions.

I'd guess that's what the US military brought over and left behind.

and some VD... probably.
Stupid, pointless, reckless and unsafe. Sign me up!
That was a cool watch. Never seen anyone suit up like that before entering a Dodge family hauler van
The origin story is spot on. "We used them to transport the motorcycles. Then one day, at lunch..."
We've all been there.
That is a lot of awesome sauce in a small track. The level of crazy is to be admired.
BTW, that track has not been 'Tilkered' the safety is in the vehicle not the track
Love this
I still can't find a clean V8 5 lug Dodge van for what I consider a fair price.
I do however have a line on a $500 Chevy...
Bless those bored Japanese ppl that create things like dangerous van racing!
JG doesn't know it yet, but we're going to build one for the $2015 Challenge.

Nah, I'm a Ford Guy and neither the GM vans or Econolines would work for the Dajiban look I don't think.
why would anyone voluntarily run radial ta's on a track vehicle? those things SUCK.
other than that, good watch. thanks.

I'll bet they say the same things about some of the JDM mods on this side of the pond. Sometimes it's about the image.

Why would anyone run a van on track? As my guitar teacher constantly tells me, stop overthinking things. 
I want to do this to a 15 passenger version.

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!

dont know why but i lost it when i read detroit haha
"So I remind myself: being non-productive is fun and cool!"
This guy gets it!
Not sure the grey haired Japanese guy with the US Air Force t-shirt gets it though.

The Chevy van was unibody 1971-1996.
They also look badass in black and grey with a red stripe.
I saw that over on Auto Blog yesterday. Is it bad that I wouldn't kick a Dajiban out of the garage?
