The portland drags are approaching fast again.  I have attended ever meet they have and think it is a great weekend here is some information in regards to the event from Craig.  Hope to see some more people attend :)

Hi All,

2010 was a good year for OZ VW drag racing, with healthy fields for both rounds of the series. 2011 also promises much with a number of new drag cars nearing completion. Peter Page took out the Most Driver Points for 2010 and his home state of Qld the VWMA Drag Racing Origin Trophy.

The first round in the series is again at Portland on the weekend February 19-20th. Registration and information about VW Portland is now available at http://www.vwma.net.au

The only change to pricing has been the catering, but as the food was spectacular at both Portland and Warwick this year, the package is good value for money (and it's two less meals to be organising).

The excellent dune buggy day is also on the programme on the Friday 18th. Registration for this day is made directly with the Portland Dune Buggy Club, and their contact details can be found via a link on the Portland Event Programme page.

Since the release of the last issue of VWMA, one change has been made to the new Top VW Shootout format. After much discussion with various parties, the Top VW Shootout will be dial-in for Portland rather than heads-up as previously advertised. This change will give all drivers a chance to gradually become familiar with the new racing format. There is also talk of introducing a 36hp class to help as a shakedown for those competing in the salt racing in March. More on that later.

I am happy to announce that Mick Motors has re-signed as major sponsor for the 2011 series. I also warmly welcome Westside Mufflers and Rod Penrose Performance as supporting sponsors for the series. And as an indication that drag racing is growing amongst the club members in Oz, The Volkswagen Club of Victoria, the VolksEnthusiasts Club of SA, Club VeeDub Sydney and the VWDCQ in Qld have thrown their support behind next years racing. Thank you to all.

See you on the track.

Cheers
