ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Prescott Phillips has been building stock and high-performance Volkswagen engines and transmissions since 1981. A semiretired Journeyman Tool and Die Maker, he always strives for perfection and has the reputation for building strong, reliable powerplants. His love for drag racing and Volkswagens led him to build some of the fastest Beetles in the Midwest. Prescott’s team, Underdog Racing, was formed in 1994 and campaigned an all-motor 11-second 1956 Oval Window Bug for many years. In 2008, Prescott built a 10-second 1960 VW Pro Stock Beetle to campaign in the ECPRA series and has done rather well. Recently, he built a 1953 street-legal Drag Bug to race in the 2017 Hot Rod Drag Week and finished the grueling 1,000-mile, 5-racetrack week with a best ET of 12.45 at 106 mph, averaging more than 20 mpg!
