A large Baypark Speedway Demolition Derby crowd was entertained by an overdue win and a debut victory during Saturday night's racing.
Smooth-driving super-saloon racer Dan Corrin, of Tauranga, capped off a summer of strong performances that had lacked title success when he powered to victory in the Bay of Plenty Championships.
The BOP title was contested by a quality eight-car field with Corrin under pressure from Waihi's Mark Hutchins throughout a close-fought 15-lap final.
"It's nice to finally get one," Corrin said.
