Sitting on the fence at Warwick Dragway watching everyone else have fun tearing it up down the 1/8th mile is not a long term vantage point for a VW drag racer. Jason Frost was determined that one day he would build and race his own VW track weapon and be a serious part of the action. A 1963 Beetle that his dad had owned from new was too good to cut up and transform into his desired race car, and although the bug allowed him to participate in the VWMA drag events, it simply didn't cut the cheese. What he needed was an early 60s Beetle too far gone to restore, but easy to cut and modify into a Super Sedan category drag car.

    

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.
