NOTE: All 36hp engines or transmission or vehicle bodies not fitting within the described guidelines will be eligible for “1” Club recognition.
BODY/VEHICLE-Any year Type 1 stock Volkswagen Beetle, Super Beetle or Cal Look sedan body with stock VW bumpers(NOTE: Convertible and sliding cloth sunroof bodies require added safety equipment-(i.e. bolt-in 4 point roll bar available from EMPI suppliers- part #3116 ). Type 141 Karmann Ghia and pre-67 Type 2 bodied cars will compete in separate body style only categories and will not be eligible for recognition beyond 36hp Challenge record listings or be eligible for top speed 36hp “Beetle” records.

No scoops allowed on the deck lid or body sides. Genuine Herrods Helper rear wings or the new replicas that mount to the air intakes under the rear window on bugs can be mounted on any 36hp Beetle that runs above 100 miles per hour for added stability and safety in all but Stone Stock categories and will NOT affect stock body classification!
