Two Bay of Plenty riders dominated their individual classes during the weekend's New Zealand Supercross Championships in Tokoroa.
On the South Waikato Motorcycle Club's circuit at Amisfield on Saturday, Bay riders Oropi's Ben Townley (SX1, open class) and Mount Maunganui's Josiah Natzke (SX2, 250cc) took control of their championship races.
They were two of four riders who dominated four of the five championship races, along with Ohaupo's Carlin Hedley (SX Lites, 125cc) and Rangiora's Korban Paget (Junior 250) - all of whom recorded a hat-trick of wins in their respective classes.
For all except the SX2 class, the event marked the first round of the national supercross champs.
Though each took control, results were never really certain until the final laps, providing plenty of thrilling, cut-and-thrust racing on the night.
