The Post Classic Racing Association of NSW was formed in June 1986 and bandied together a small association of Historic Racing enthusiasts. In its early days, PCRA members were invited along to other club & interclub meetings.

1988

In 1988, the first PCRA run race meetings were run in conjunction with Eastern Suburbs Motorcycle Club. There was a mix of Post Classic or Period 4 Machinery (1963 – 1972) & Modern Machines.

Also in 1988 a few good men from PCRA & ESMCC created a class called Bucket Racing & this inexpensive category enhanced membership numbers to the point the PCRA could run race meetings on their own at the now closed Oran Park North Circuit.

With the membership growing & the popularity of Post Classic Racing (and Bucket Racing), the PCRA was soon running events at the larger Oran Park South, Oran Park GP Circuits & the also now closed Amaroo Park.

1989

In 1989 a new Historic category was formed, Forgotten Era or Period 5 (1973 – 1980). This was a huge success & PCRA grew larger to the extent of running State Title meetings. Some years ago, the 1980 date for Period 5 changed to 1982.

2000

In 2000, the PCRA introduced a further 2 new classes:

• New Era 1 / changed to New Era (1981 – 1990)
• New Era 2 / changed to Pre Modern (1991 – 1997)

Although they were not recognised Historic categories these two classes were also a great success.
