    Reem Racing was founded in 2011 by Thomas Herbert, Volkswagen Drag Racing Championship Public Relations representative. Initially Reem Racing was a race team that consisted of 2 VW Golf VR6 racecars completing in the VWDRC at both Santa Pod Raceway and Shakespeare County Raceway. In 2011 the team debuted both cars, Paul Herbert finished 3rd in the VW PRO Class in his VR6 Supercharged VW Golf while Thomas Herbert finished 9th in the Sportsman category with his VR6 VW Golf.

   

    The 2012 season saw Paul improve in the final championship standings earning himself 2nd in the VW PRO class running a personal best quarter mile time of 11.74 at 124mph. The year wasn't as successful for Thomas, after running a personal best of 12.70 at 107mph at the cars first event catastophic engine failure saw an end to The Reem Machine's season. 2012 was also the year that Reem Racing began the extremely popular media coverage, the coverage originally consisted of short videos highlights of VWDRC national events. In the first year Reem Racing Films received 10,000 views on youtube as well as highlighted mentions from Santa Pod Raceway, VW Performance Magazine and Eurodragster Event Coverage.

   

 

  

     2013 was an extremely busy year for the Reem Racing guys and girls, Drivers Paul and Thomas both took a step back from the track as rookie Frances Herbert and long term VW PRO racer Jacob Bailey wore the double R's on the track. Frances piloted The Reem Machine to number 1 qualifying position at Bug Jam 27 in her first event while Jacob went on to not only set a personal best of an 11.88 quarter mile time but also finished 2nd in the VWDRC PRO championship and winner of the APIRA PRO championship. Off the track Reem Racing also took the event coverage up a level by launch full online broadcasts including all the events action, interviews and educational pieces. In 2013 we received over 20,000 views and continued promotion by some of the largest names in the sport.
