Mamba 2.0 Rotary Bug
My journey with this car began with a 1972 Super Beetle, which I originally used as my daily driver. However, my love for speed and racing led me to turn it into a formidable race car. After migrating from Jamaica and moving to the United States, I decided to take its performance to the next level by converting it into a rotary engine, unleashing even more power on the track.
For years, my car was a force to be reckoned with, setting records and thrilling crowds. Then, in 2020, tragedy struck when it was involved in a major crash. However, from the wreckage emerged a phoenix of sorts – Mama 2.0. This new iteration was meticulously designed as a full tube chassis drag car, built with the sole purpose of going faster and dominating the drag strip. It's a testament to the resilience and dedication that fuel my passion for racing and performance.
Before embarking on the creation of Mama 2.0, I made sure to involve my entire family in the decision-making process. We sat down together, and each member shared their valuable insights and feedback on what direction we should take when building the next race car. Their collective input not only inspired the project but also emphasized the importance of family support in pursuing our racing dreams. It became a true collaborative effort that made Mama 2.0 more than just a car; it became a symbol of our shared passion and determination.
Once we decided on the plans for building Mamba 2.0, I immediately reached out to David at Creative Car Craft to see if he would be willing to help in creating the parts for the car. David played a fundamental role in making the body parts for the car, which I was later able to modify for Mamba 2.0. His expertise and craftsmanship were invaluable in bringing this project to life, and his contributions are a testament to the collaborative spirit that drove Mama 2.0's creation.
