About Bad Bug Racing

On the Race Track!

 Bad Bug Racing is centered around Bad Bug 2.  The Bad Bug 2 is a 1956 VW bug that  has been specifically modified for drag racing.  The current engine is a 2553cc,  turbocharged, intercooled and fuel injected genuine air-cooled Volkswagen engine.  The eventual goal with the car is to run in the 8 second range at over 150mph in the quarter mile!

Race Car and More!

The Bad Bug 2 draws attention on the race track and at car shows!  It is often a crowd favorite!

Who is Bad Bug Racing?

Jeff Rogers is the proprietor of Bad Bug Racing and raced 1BADBUG, his daily driver street-legal beetle, from 1981 until 1993.  In the early 1990s, Jeff acquired what would become the Bad Bug 2, and in 1994, the Bad Bug 2 officially made its debut at the track.  The car has been modified on several platforms, including "All Motor", with nitrous oxide and currently is turbocharged, intercooled and fuel injected.
