ABRAKADABRA Twoghias volkswagen drag car

Welcome................................................

//
rev it up


ABRAKADABRA my 1969 Karmann Ghia, steel center , tube chassis car was originally built by Kendrick Roberts. Kendrick held the Hot VW's 1/8 mile A/SX Class National  Record  @ 6.25 e.t. for more than 6 years.There were many other low e.t. passes down to 6.11 that were never registered for the record.This record was set with ABRAKADABRA on 8/93 at Bristol,TN. and  was held untill 6/99 when it was broken by Tracy Grimm . Props to Tracy, keep it going faster. I race events in The Carolina's,and most all local four cylinder events at Orlando Speed World, Lakeland Dragway,and Desoto Memorial Dragway. Look at the 2006 Racing Shedule to see where I will be next.

ABRAKADABRA's gaurdrail homing system has hopfully been deactivated and repairs to the car are completed. The car still has the same overall look with modest changes in art and graphics. You are welcome to look around the Repair Pictures.

Noel Latour has performed some of the modifications done to the car, including the transformation of steel rear end to fiberglass bonnet. It is because of Kendrick, Scooter,Noel, and the rest of Team Magic that I have this opportunity to race ABRAKADABRA.

It's wheels up time!

On 8/2000 ABRAKADABRA had a normally aspirated gasoline motor. I had run Dellorto's DRLA's for a while and then some Weber 48 IDA carbs.At the end of August, Scooter donated the piece/parts from an old turbo system. I am now in the process of converting my induction system to alcohol injection/turbocharged. Check out  the Turbo Conversion pages.

The latest and last update to the Turbo Conversion pages was on 8/15/06. This update is the final chapter in the story of ABRAKABADRA's long and fruitfull life.
