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
