This is taken from the DVKK home page. www.vwdvkk.com

Welcome!  
The DVKK or Der Volksrennwagen Kafer Klub was founded in January 1996. The founding members have been around as a group prior to this but in 1996 we made it official.The first meeting was held in a local resturant in Burnaby BC, There we hashed out what WE as a group wanted to have in a club. What follows is a idea of what we are all about.
The DVKK is a Cal look performance oriented beetle club that strives to have clean and FAST VW's. This means that for the most part our cars are early std beetles and Ghias with a few later std beetles mixed in. We are not biased to other types be it supers, T3's or others in fact most of us have one or two of those also.
The reason for limiting our club to such a narrow format was we wanted quality not quantity. There are many clubs out there and it is a very large task to keep the enthusiasim and organization of a large number of members.Some clubs quickly come and go and that is usually due to a high turn over of members and lack of enthusiasm. This means that no matter how good of a friend you are, your not a member until everyone in the club agrees that you have earned the respect of others in the club and your car is up to snuff.
The DVKK is open to anyone with a clean FAST standard beetle (that is finished). As a rule we only take aprox 1-2 members a year and this only when you have been invited by a member to become a prospect. Once a prospect you will attend 3 months of meetings, At this time we will take a vote and if we all agree you are elected a new member.....Then the hazing begins! (just joking) If you do not make it then we will tell you what you could do to become a member.
The \"FAST\" part of the club is what brings us together as a group and to many racetracks around the North West. Our home track is Mission Raceway Park in Mission BC. www.missionraceway.com You can find us out there on a regular basis on any Street legal night or the fri before the Great Canadian VW Show. See our coming events for dates.We enjoy taking our cars out to the track and seeing what they can do............. and who is the fastest.
DVKK members have had their cars featured in many VW magazines including Hot VW's, Super VW (france), Volks world (UK), Let's Play VW's (Japan) and others. Keep a eye out on your favorite VW magazine as our members are always cleaning, polishing and tuning their cars in hopes of becoming featured in one of these great magazines.
