Australian champions were crowned across 15 different classes ranging from the five-year-olds on 50cc bikes to the 17-year -olds on 250cc machines.

Tamworth Motorbike Club president Paul Slade said the weekend was a success for the club and region despite the heat.

“The sun made it a bit more difficult but there is no complaints,” Slade said.

“There has been some really good racing all weekend.” 

Tamworth riders Damon Elms and Cameron Donald were on fire, riding their way into the finals on Sunday afternoon for the chance to be crowned Australian champion on their home track.

“The boys are riding pretty well and should do alright in the finals.”

The event has brought hundreds of people into town for the long weekend, and is just the start of a huge few months for the club that will culminate in a massive Indoor Show at the AELEC in December.

“Eighteen years ago we held the junior long track titles here, but this is the biggest season we have had for a very long time,” Slade said.

“There is going to be some world class riders at the AELEC.” 

“It is going to be huge.”
