There were 13 classes of competitions and they produced 12 different winners.
Kurri Kurri rider Cameron Dunker was the only rider to score a winning double and he added a third placing in another class to his trophy haul.
Racing for the 11 to under 13 lived up to expectations providing the best of the invariably close and hard-fought racing on both days.
Depending on the number of entries received some classes were decided over a series of five point-scoring rounds, while bigger entry lists had heats and then a one-off final.
Both formats produced close results, generally with points series only resolved in the final round and close finishes in the finals.
The 13 to under 16s always attract plenty of attention as they are the next group of riders to head off in to the senior ranks.

Across the four classes of competition for that age bracket there were four different winners - Ryan Smith from Singleton (who also claimed a second place), Gunnedah rider Jay Fouracre (who also claimed a third place), Taree rider Mitchell Bisley and Queenslander Seth Qualischefski (who took home first, second and third place trophies)
Taree riders Hayden Nelson and Zane Hopkins both had a class win, the Forbes club provided two class winners - Hugh Hope-Hodgetts and Beau Bailey - while Nate Jaeger joined Fouracre as a winner from Gunnedah.
Another Queenslander Viv Muddle was also a winner, as well as a runner-up in another class, while Katarna Robinson came out on top in the girl class.
The stand-alone junior meeting confirmed that there is some great talent coming through the motorcycle ranks and it also showed that junior racing can turn on action that is just as close and hard-fought.as seniors do.
