Round 4 Winner Justin Drew

The Victorian Modified Production Association (VMPA) was established in the mid nineties to unify the Modified Production Drivers in Victoria.  Better prize money and regular, well organised events were the main goals of  the Association' founder,  Di Watson, and after setting the foundations, the State Series was born.

          The Association's signature event is the Di Watson Memorial, contested at the opening round of the season in honour of our founder. This event has been won by some of our State, and indeed National Title holders including Ashley Parkinson, Justin Drew, Trevor Mills, Graham West and Bryan Galley among others, and is held in high regard among competitors.

          Racing is conducted over the summer racing season, and takes us all over the State.  From Mildura in the north, to Bairnsdale in the South, the VMPA and it's competitors have covered most corners of the State, as well as the occasional interstate foray, although recent cost containment measures dictate staying inside our State's boundaries.

          The ASCF/SSA National Modified Production Title gives our drivers the opportunity to gauge their competitiveness against the rest of the country.  In recent years, VMPA members have formed the majority in the top qualifying positions for these Titles, and have featured predominately in the feature results.  The VMPA is proud of it's member's results, which can be attributed to the skills they attain through regular, strong competition in the State Series.

          Bass Highway Waste have supported the VMPA through sponsorship of the Bass Highway Waste State Series for many years, and that support continues in season '08-'09.  With racing all over the state in the year ahead, we should be at a track near you............will you be there???
