Vehicle:
#421 - TEAM WESTAFARI - THE LEMONS VAN
Meet the Team Westafari van, or the LeMons van, as she's affectionately known around these parts. This 1986, 7-Passenger was originally a 2WD van that we transformed into a stripped out race van for the 24 Hours of LeMons races, winning Class C in 2016.
Inspired by the win, we set out to convert her to a 4WD Syncro for the NORRA Mexican 1000 in 2017. Still going strong after the grueling race, she ran it again in 2018 and is still going strong today.
#422 - TEAM WESTAFARI - THE TRAINER VAN
New to racing NORRA this year is the GoWesty "Trainer" van. The GoWesty “Trainer” vehicle is a 1987 Syncro outfitted with the a bevy of GoWesty proprietary upgrades: 2.7 waterboxer engines, Fox shocks, lifting springs, lengthened trailing arms, steel skid plates, decoupler, front and rear lockers, posi-traction, and lots more. The “Trainer” is one of the most off-road capable Vanagons on the planet.
