I have on good authority from a fellow member of the aircooled VW community, that while this bus was on the flats, it never actually set a record. A very similar bus did set a land speed record for an aircooled VW motor at a different track.
I am however totally smitten with the above bus and I'm currently working on hunting down the owner. If I find him and can get pics I'll be happy to share!
Well, I hope I did, are you sport chrono.com? That site has no "about me" info, email to contact the hmfic etc... So... since I can't tell if you're sincere or sarcastic, and that site has Zero info... I hope we're cool. Do you have more photos of that van you'd like to share?
...yepp. Me too ;)

I shot this when it was on the salt a few years back - the first shot you've used above is one of mine (thanks for the photo credit !).
