Welcome to The Vintage Motocross Club of WA (VMXWA)
VMXWA is the leading body actively promoting Vintage Motocross in
Western Australia
. The Club 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 on 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 Vintage Motocross
VMXWA is exclusively pre-75 era, 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 vintage motocross with VMXWA.

The Club meets every 4th Wednesday of each month at the Como Bowling Club,

First busy bee for 2010
Tuesday, 19 January 2010
The first Narrogin busy bee will be held on Saturday 30th January 2010 - read on...
It’s funny but I remember sitting at a committee meeting back in the middle of the year recalling Nick Maxfield talking about possibly holding a grass track event at the Bridgetown show in November. With memories of the Osborne Park events and how successful they were, I immediately felt incredibly excited about the whole idea, and might I say for good reason.
Just a quick correction regarding the Busy Bee which was scheduled for the 12 December, and as announced by Pete last Saturday night at Bridgetown, this has now been re-scheduled for this Saturday, 5 December, given that 12th as previously mentioned puts it a bit too close to Christmas.
If you can't make it to the working bee on Saturday at Narrogin, there will be plenty of people around on Sunday (22/11/09) too, so if you can spare some time to come along and help either day it would be greatly appreciated.
Progress – Dandaloo Park Ablutions & Busy Bee Notice
Wednesday, 07 October 2009
Hi folks, this is just a brief update on the progress of the ablutions thus far and to advise of a couple of busy bee’s we will be having in the near future.
The VMXWA club has the opportunity to conduct a Pre 75 VMX Grasstrack at the Bridgetown Show on Saturday the 28th November. The organisers of the show are so keen to have us there that we are being billed as the main attraction. In order to ensure that we can provide racing to the highest of standards for the crowd we are hoping for large numbers in order to provide many varying classes.
