Cost to ride is $40 and one event competition licences will be available on the day for $100. One event licences are available on ridernet (www.ridernet.com.au) leading up to the event at a cost of $81. For those that need assistance with purchasing one event licences on ridernet a guide is available at http://www.vmxwa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Applying-for-one-event-licence.pdf however please feel free to contact me and I’ll walk you through the process, one event licences are cheaper purchased online through ridernet. Wandering “Paynes Find” is a Competitive Race Day so select Competitive licence and then one event competition. Purchasing one event licenses through ridernet prior to sign on is the preferred method as it is a significant financial saving and also reduces the paperwork on the day at sign on.
Regarding licensing it is also worth considering how many events you intend on attending throughout the remainder of year to see whether an annual licence is better value for your circumstances. See the table below to compare the costs for each event you plan on attending. VMXWA have 4 race days and 4 recreational days on the calendar this year (excluding Vintage Dirt which is a ride park day which doesn’t require a licence), anyone doing all events on the calendar is an easy choice of annual senior national licence.
