What is Pre-65 classic scrambling? Pre-65 classic scrambles are motorcycle race meetings where riders compete aboard classic scramble motorcycles manufactured before 1965. The sport is also called Pre-65 Motocross or Classic Motocross.

The aim of our club is to preserve pre-65 motorcycles and to encourage there use. We organise and run around 9 scrambles each year and cater for many classes of classic scrambler. We boast the highest membership of any classic scrambles club in the UK, nearly 300 members. So why not come along to one of our events? Checkout the calendar below for dates.

How did the Pre-65 Motocross Club begin?
 The Pre 65 Motocross Club was established in 1982 and originally consisted of a small group of riders. These riders would provide
demonstrations of classic scramblers at modern motocross meetings. Little did they know they were involved in the start of what
is now the largest classic motocross club in England. With over 300 members, the club continues to grow and the 2005 season will
see the club host 9 meetings at 5 separate venues across the East and South of England.
What Championships does the Pre 65 MXC run?
 The Pre 65 Motocross Club runs a host of different championships to suit everyone and all machines. These consist of Pre 60,
Pre 65, Pre 74, Greeves-Only, Rider Age Related, Sports Class (non-competitive), Racing Class(competitive) and Sidecar Championships.
With such a veritable plethora of championships, the average rider can expect 5-7 races over a single meeting, each race consisting, on average, of 5 laps.
 The Pre 60, Greeves and Sidecar
Championships are all supported by the Pre 65 MXC and riders will gain points for each race. The other classes e.g. Pre 65,
Pre 74 etc. are supported but championships are not run in these classes. Instead, these non-championship classes are put on
to give riders more races during each race meeting, thus increasing their enjoyment...and aches and pains the following day!
