BC Oldtimers Motocross
Club (BCOT) is now
BC Veteran Motocross
Club (BCVETMX)!
In 2025 the club has re-branded to BCVETMX to follow suit with our sanctioning organization, the International Vet Motocross Association (IVMX), formerly known as the 'International Oldtimers Motocross Association' (IOTMX).
IVMX is a motocross race series, where riders accumulate points toward overall placement at the end of the season each calendar year. ​​We are dedicated to the great sport of motocross, a family-oriented, healthy sport that is considered to be one of the most physically demanding in the world. Our first official meeting was January 9, 1974. Later that year the club joined the U.S Association making the association an international one. ​Our home track is the beautiful Agassiz track, near Harrison Hot Springs Resort.
Officially, 'Vets' or 'Vet Motocross Riders' are 30 years and older. Vet classes can accumulate points and compete in the IVMX series. All classes are decided by ability: Novice, Intermediate, Expert, and Master. People under 30, and on a 'big wheel' bike, can race in the support class, however there are no official race series points for these riders. A rider’s age in the +30, +40, +50, +60, +70 and +80 Vet classes will be determined by their birthday reached prior to the end of the calendar year.
Races are open to all, with the only requirement being that you are a member of one of the affiliated International Vet MX clubs. Racers must have a current IVMX membership card showing name, age, date of birth, chapter, rider classification, and year of Issue. This card will be issued when you purchase a membership, and needs to be shown at sign up at an International event.
Membership applications are available at the track and on this website. We encourage you to mail in your membership early to avoid delays at the track and get in as much riding time as possible.
Our
Story
In 1972, four semi-retired cross-country / motocross riders wanted to continue to enjoy the sport. These “Original Four” were Ron Farmer, Stan Johnson, Brooks Gowanlock and Vern Amor.
George Wagstaff was the first President and Brooks Gowanlock was the first club Secretary. George was President from 1974-1983 and was followed by Brooks Gowanlock from 1984 -1987; Ron Farmer in 1988; John Berezowecki in 1989 and 90; Norm Twa in 1991; Larry Wear in 1992 and 1993; Len Edwards 1994-2001 and Don Tocher 2002-2013. Rick Perrin has been President since 2014.
The BC Oldtimers Motorcycle Club became the fourth club to join the Oldtimers MX Association, which was founded by the Los Angeles chapter and immediately followed by Oregon and Washington. The B.C. entry into the Association in 1974 made it an international one, and the name was changed to the International Oldtimers Motocross Association (IOTMX) thereafter. The Association now has 10 clubs (2025) from all the Western States and one Western Provinces, B.C.
All our International races are two day events, with 3 motos on Saturday and 2 motos on Sunday. For those over 70, 2 motos on Saturday only. All motos are considerably longer than normal local races. For example, the +40 Master class runs five 22 Minute Motos. We like you to go home tired but want you to feel like you earned it.
On Saturday night of our International race, BCVETMX supplies a catered dinner and raffle. The raffle is also the original one. Although it is becoming quite popular with other clubs, our famous raffle and dinner are still considered one of the best. The rules are 30% trophies and we are generous with that minimum and also pay 100% trophies to anyone over 70. They deserve it. Anyone over 80 rides free, as long as they pre-enter.​​​
