About Desert Dingo Racing

The Team: Desert Dingo Racing is a team of high tech professionals based in Silicon Valley, California who are campaigning a Class 11 VW Beetle in desert racing. Our first outing was the 40th annual Baja 1000 in November 2007. Meet the team.

The Car: Class 11 is reserved for near-stock old-generation VW Beetles. The only major modification is a roll cage. The average speed on the desert course is 25 mph. See the car.

The Race: The Baja 1000 is an off-road race that takes place on Mexico's Baja Peninsula in the fall. The race attracts 300,000 spectators and brings in teams from all over the world. Learn more.

The Goal: Desert Dingo Racing is as committed to community service as it is to winning the Baja 1000. We've teamed with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in support of its campaign to raise awareness of diabetes issues worldwide. We're hosting a drive-a-thon to raise money for the World Diabetes Day 2008 campaign. 100% of the money raised goes to the IDF. We hope you'll join us in the effort.
