races from five starts in the Junior 8-12 years’ 85cc
class.
Former national motocross champion David Furze, of
New Plymouth, finished with a 1-1-2-2-1 score-card in
the Enduro class to take that title from Pukekohe’s
Nigel Gainfort, while Taupo’s Jake Tomblin edged out
Kumeu’s Logan Maddren in winning the Classic Bikes
class.
The two Veterans’ classes – for riders aged between
35 and 45 years or riders aged over 45 years – were
won respectively by Cambridge’s Damien King and
New Plymouth’s Mitch Rowe.
It came as no real surprise that 2015 national ATV
motocross champion Scott Keegan, from Stratford,
won the Premier ATV class, while Paeroa’s Tyler
Campbell overcame an initial hiccup, when he finished
only fourth in the first 450cc Production ATV of the
weekend, bouncing back to win the four races that
followed. Stratford’s Nicola Reid won the Veterans
(over-40) ATV title.
