At each of the four rounds this year (8/6, 3/8, 31/8 and 19/10) there will be an all in pre ’75 race of 5 laps held before the lunch break. All finishers will accumulate points over the four rounds which count towards the final “VMXWA World Championship”. There will be a red plate presented for the series leader with a large trophy for the overall World Champion presented after the final round. The Sidecar World Championship will be one round with the race held after the lunch break at Round 3 on the 31st August 2025. Who will be crowned the VMXWA World Champion for 2025?

Regarding licensing it is also 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. This year VMXWA have 4 race days and 2 recreational days on the calendar this year (excluding Vintage Dirt which is a ride park day), anyone doing all events on the calendar is an easy choice of annual senior national licence.
| Licence Type | Eligible events | Duration | Cost |
| Annual Senior National | All race and recreational events | 12 month period | $381.99 |
| Annual Recreational | All recreational events | 12 month period | $160.58 |
| One event Competition online | Race day | One event only | $83.74 |

Please make sure you bring the correct cash with you for the weekend as there are no eftpos facilities.
Saturday the 2nd August at 5pm will be the July General meeting held at the track to make it easier for country members to attend a meeting.
The Northam track is a really pre ’75 and Vintage friendly track with great club rooms and ablutions and is an event well worth attending. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

We encourage everyone to do the Technical Officer, Operational Level 1 and Clerk of Course modules as this will help us towards filling the vacancies we regularly have in running our events. If you have a non riding family member or friend that regularly attends events with you then please encourage them to look at the officials courses as this counts towards your annual assistance for the year and keeps riders on track where we need them.
