Yes! The Dodge Rampage is considered a Mid/Mini Pickup truck.

Dodge Rampages are legal in the Mini truck classes. The entry For Shifts and Grins was a Rampage and held a record for many years.

That's good news. I thought I had seen somewhere that a Rampage was a legal mini-truck.  Hopefully the SCTA will confirm it as well.

Excellent News - he is "The Man" when it comes to little trucks.  I think his VW holds records in something like 7 classes.

This is great information coming from Mike Manghelli.  I don't know the history, but I would suspect that there's a good chance that Mike took those records away from the For Shifts and Grins Rampage. 

Gregg:  - I just came across a thread with your Rampage chassis photos yesterday (as you probably know).  It is truly an inspiring piece of work.   If you don't mind sharing, what is the status of your truck now? 

My project will be several years in the making, I just committed to buy the truck, and haven't even gone to pick it up yet.  I have several friends who are "into" the VW racing scene (mostly drag racing), and I have a decent amount of experience with the Omni/Horizon platform, along with VW and Mercedes diesel experience.  I've been dreaming of getting to the salt for years.   This is my best opportunity to do so.
