Throughout Mexico legions of fans remain devoted to the Volkswagen Beetle, or as it's known, the 'vocho.'
Gamboa’s mother, Dulce, also had a thing for speed. She used to take Gamboa and his two brothers and sister to the racetrack on the weekends, where they would thrill at the screech of wheels, the deafening rumble of the engines and the acrid smell of burning rubber.He and Ramírez liked to drive it up into the mountains ringing Mexico City. After they had two sons, Mario Jr. and Alex, the boys would take turns curling up for naps in the Beetle’s cocoon-like back seat.
In the world of car buffs, the Gamboas’ work became legendary. A Facebook page for their racing team has more than 67,000 followers. His son Mario Jr., who at 41 closely resembles his father, with a smooth head and a wide smile, became his right-hand man. Like her mother-in-law, Ramírez never showed much interest in the mechanics of cars, but she liked to go fast. Even when her sons were little, she frequently drag-raced, using to her advantage the way opponents often underestimated her.
Sometimes they race each other, which both say helps soothe occasional marital frictions. “It’s simple,” Gamboa said. “When we race, we’re happy.” She was moving slower than usual because her normal motor was being worked on, and this was a borrowed engine. Still, she traversed a quarter-mile in a cool 16 seconds — and won.
