Portland 2011 saw the return of the Volkswagens to the 1/8th mile track at SouthCoast Raceway for two days of VW drag racing! As with most sporting events in Australia of late, the weekend ran the gauntlet of wet weather, however, when it counted, the sun came out and the racing programme ran the two days uninterrupted. SouthCoast Raceway has become the premier 1/8th mile track in Australia, with the recent improvements of an extended track run-off area, full length concrete barriers, new surfaced return road, new timing boards and improved spectator facilities adding to the enjoyment of the fourt year running of VW Portland.

    

VW Magazine Australia

VWMA is an Australian owned and published enthusiasts magazine serving both the aircooled and watercooled Volkswagen scene nationally. Published quarterly (Feb, May, Aug, Nov), the magazine is available through newsagents Australia wide or via subscription, and covers every aspect of the hobby, from the very early models through to the latest innovations, motorsport, offroad, kit, custom, books, toys and shows. If it doesn't appear in VWMA then it isn't VW related.

Now in its seventh year, VWMA also hosts two drag racing weekends, sponsors a variety of VW shows, and supports events across the country. Printed and distributed by Australian companies, VWMA is also fortunate to have access to a talented pool of home based VW photojournalists and print/web technicians, who work with VWMA to produce quality VW entertainment each issue. And in 2011, the magazine's website has evolved to encompass the online and portable information revolution with the inclusion of additional media content to enrich the printed reading experience.
