KäferCar Racing is an effort put forth by myself, Gary Scurlock to expand and grow my Volkswagen Hobby. I worked with VWs in high school and like all teenagers I poured myself into learning all about these cars. I enjoy all aspects of dealing with automobiles. I enjoy working on the engines, body work, painting and even the interior work. No other car has fascinated me more than Volkswagens.
While a Volkswagen Beetle isn't the most attractive car. It has features that appeal to me. It is a simple car, most pieces and parts are easily handled with minimal effort. (try putting a V-8 on a cafeteria table) Parts are readily available even at the local parts store. The car doesn't have computers or fuel injection to hurt your brain.
the best thing about Volkswagen is the other cool stuff you can build. Naturally dune buggies and trikes come to mind. Also Baja bugs for racing. In 1959 some gentlemen got together and came up with another car built from VW parts. The Formula Vee race car. Formula because cars have to fit a "formula" of length, width, hieght, and weight. Also called out in the formula is engine size and arrangement. The Volkswagen Formula Vee is very similar to Formula One except that the average person can actually buy and own a Formula Vee for the price of a tire or two from a Formula One car.
