Why would anyone race a Dodge RAM D150?

The owner of this 1981 Dodge D150 has had other vehicles that he raced autocross with. But this one is "special". And a bit dangerous.

Those d150 are very fun! I bought mine for $450 no engine or transmission. Got a hemi from the junkyard for $400 45rfe transmission for an other 200. Truck is fast now
