Well...thank you all for your responses to the racing history question. I had no idea that the VX had such an illustrious racing background. Why hasn't any body written a book about this vehicle? If someone did, it would sure help resale, because the basic concept-car to hand assembled production VX story, and especially the racing is all most impressive. The VX will be an underground phenomenon until the book is done, I think. Legends are created by published accounts, and with Isuzu backing away early-on from the VX legacy this vehicle never really got its just reward.
What do you think? Can we prepare an exciting VX story for motoring history? It sure seems like the raw material is there to work with, or put better, the little VX is the "racing truck" that could and people need to know that. (Even if it didn't win all the time; it sure looked good doing it and how many vehicles can say that!)
