Welcome to the official web site for the Der Kafer Rennfahrer (DKR) VW Drag Racing Club. Der Kafer Rennfahrer when translated to English means “The Beetle Racers” so there is no doubt what this club is all about.

The clubs birth was a result of a need for a South East of England based club dedicated to VW drag racing, to enable like minded people to share their passion for VW drag racing in a fun, friendly and slightly competitive way. The club was inspired by clubs such as the SAS Rennwagens and JG54 Greenhearts and I hope that one day this club could share at least half their success.

Meetings are held on an adhoc basis and at various VW drag racing events around the country and the details of these are announced on this website. This club is based out of the South East of England and is open to anyone to join who meet the Membership rules described on the members page.

We hope to see you track side soon. Come and say hi!
