The club is the leading body actively promoting Vintage motocross in Western Australia. VMXWA runs a full winter calendar from March through to around October. The tracks used by the Club include natural terrain and established 70’s era tracks, ideally suited to VMX racing. Racing is low-key with the emphasis on restoring, riding and enjoying your ‘vintage’ machinery.
Introducing the sport to Western Australia in 1995, VMXWA set out to recreate the sights, sounds, smell and camaraderie of the ‘golden years of motocross’ – the 60’s and 70’s. The underlying theme in Vintage Motocross is “the spirit of the era”. You won’t find any modern “obstacles” on a VMX track, but you will find mud, dirt, dust, hills and a group of riders who love the sport and the bikes they ride.
Pre-75 and Pre-85 Vintage Motocross
VMXWA is predominately Pre-75 and provides classes for Pre-75 and Pre-85 motorcycles at most events. So if you own a trail or dirt bike, solo or sidecar built before December 31st 1974, with no more than 7″ front wheel travel and 4″ rear wheel travel, then it’s eligible for the Pre-75 class and if you own a trail or dirt bike built before December 31st 1984, then it is eligible for the Pre-85 class (inclusive of Pre’78 and Evolution classes). Note the Pre-85 class is run at most however not all events so be sure to check the the calendar to check the classes on offer for that event.
