29th Poker Run 4:00pm - 6:00pm

BBQ & Dance at destination 6:00pm - midnight


First held in 1981, Big Al's Poker Run has become one of Perth's most well known hot rod events.

In the past 28 years, the Poker Run has grown from an initial entrant number of 52 in 1981 to a record 850 for its 21st celebration run in 2001. It now as an event that commands six months worth of organising, involves numerous government departments and attracts a growing list of sponsors.

Due to the steady growth of the event, the demand on resources and the restricted space available at venues, entry to the event is restricted to hot rods, custom classics and cars manufactured in Australia prior to January 1st, 1978. This cut-off date applies also to Japanese and European cars. Cars of US manufacture are not restricted.

Always intended as an event for hot rods and cars of American origin, the Pre-�78 cut-off recognises the classic Aussie muscle cars and cruisers that have always been part of the Poker Run.

Holdens up to WB, Toranas up to LX and Geminis up to TD will ensure that those of you that love your Monaros, SLR/5000s and hot four Holdens aren't disappointed.

For the Blue Oval fans, Falcons up to XC, Fairlanes and LTDs up to ZH and Cortinas up to TE will still be able to enjoy Perth�s biggest cruise, while Mopar fans will be happy to know that the last of the Aussie-built Valiants � the CM � are also welcome.

Invitation Class 2009: Lowrida Mini Trucks

Celebration Class 2009: 75th Anniversary '34 Ford

Top show, top start to the day. The young bloke and i had a great time untill our run home.

Awesome cars of all descriptions.

Caught up with or met some members which was great to put names to faces.

Great pics i reckon Tinks.

But i must thank the 2 flogs in plastic crap that decided to have a race down Carrington street. As you pair of nobs rounded me up as the 2 into 1 lane merges, you must have got the fright of your lives to see the marked police car come over the hill in font of you.

Who did the plod pull over ?

Yours friggin' truly!

Thankfully, the old couple in the classic EH that had been following me since Freo pulled over as well and set the plod straight.

Completely ruined my day and if it wasn't for old Mr Jessup having the foresight to see what was going down in front of him, i would have worn some crap i didn't deserve.

Flogs !!
