Pre85MXWA

The Pre85MXWA club is a progressive family-orientated club formed in November 2009 to ensure the sport of vintage motocross in Western Australia continues to evolve and ensure all eras are catered for by one club. The club’s track is at Hillman Farm Darkan and has received a major make over to make it vintage friendly and also suitable for junior riders. The club’s goal is also to get back to an affordable, grass roots ``club day'' style of motocross where emphasis is on fun and also giving people the opportunity to run their bikes in a variety of classes throughout the day. The club runs competitive and non-competitive events throughout the MX season. If your bike is Pre90 or older there’s likely to be at least two classes per round that can be ridden. Part of the appeal of the club is having evenly matched bikes from different eras, mixing it on the track with riders and spectators having a ball. Juniors can ride any suitable modern or vintage bike so they can be part of the action too. One regular rider includes AMA Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Ellis, one of the most successful riders in the US in the 1970s who rides a Busselton Motorcycles sponsored YZ465. Ellis (who lives in the SW) won the 1974 Supercross 250cc Championship aboard a Can-Am. He is only one of dozens of riders who have a new-found joy in machines built in the past.
