Collie Recreation day and Swap Meet 11th and 12th April

Our first event for the year is at Stockton Park, Collie on the 12/4/26 which will be run under a recreational permit and is open to all VMXWA and Classic MXWA members. Classes run will be determined on the day depending on entries, for example last years format was Pre ’75, Pre ’85, Pre ’95 and Pre ’04 giving plenty of track time to all involved with Pre ’95 and Pre ’04 using the full track and Pre’75 and Pre ’85 using a shortened track. Unfortunately we are unable to run a junior class due to working with children requirements.

Saturday the 11/4/26 there will be a swap meet made available to those who have items they want to bring along to sell from 2pm.

Licencing options and costs

With the season about to start it is worth considering your licence options for the year and work out which option works best for you. Every competitor requires a licence issued from the governing body Motorcycling Australia in order to compete, this can be either an annual licence or a one event licence. It is worth considering how many events you intend on attending throughout a 12 month period to see whether an annual licence is better value for your circumstances, annual licences expire 12 months from the date you purchase. This year VMXWA has 4 race days, 3 recreational days and 1 ride park day (Vintage Dirt) on the calendar, anyone doing all events on the calendar have the easy choice of annual senior national licence. An annual senior National licence covers Race, Recreation and Ride park days, an annual senior Recreational licence only covers for Recreational and ride park days.
When purchasing one event licences there are 2 options, either purchase online through ridernet or purchase at the track. 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.
