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. 

Want to Know More?

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

99 Hensman Street, South Perth
Start time for club nights is 8:00pm.

Club contacts are available from this website.

Website Clutch Failure!
Tuesday, 02 March 2010

 The astute "click-happy" ones amongst you will notice that the old website just aint what it used to be thanks to some sneaky hackers.  Unfortunately it's looking like a major rebuild so I've had to disable all features except the front page.  Will keep you informed, but it will be slow.

 
Volunteer helpers required
Saturday, 27 February 2010

Due to family health commitments the Brady/Dillon’s are unfortunately unable to completely run the canteen at Wandering and the 15th Anniversary at Narrogin this year. 

We are currently calling for willing volunteers to help man the canteen on the day. Dependant on volunteers it is envisaged that a roster will be able to be drawn up with volunteers completing a few hours throughout the day.

Unfortunately if we can not get the volunteers together we will need to look at organizing outside caterers to attend the event which reduces the funds the club can raise, not to mention the fact of increased food prices.

Anyone interested in volunteering please ring Robert Dillon on 0429 409 590 prior to 28 February.

Bridgetown Race Report 28-11-09
Wednesday, 09 December 2009

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.

Tuesday, 01 December 2009

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.
