THE team at Teza Motocross Valley held a successful sixth round of junior and senior MotoX championship over the weekend.
More than 40 juniors and 82 seniors participated.
In perfect weather, the races went without serious incident and the riders enjoyed high-speed racing at its best.
In the junior championships on Saturday - the 50cc Adventure/Aircool class - Conner Finnis, Michael Baker and Cullen Scott ensured great competition with only five points separating them after three heats, but in the end Baker hung on to his lead.
In the 65cc class, home boy Charl van Eeden took maximum points and is now 62 points clear of second-placed Dirco van der Westhuizen.
Mathew Malan dominated the 85cc class with three wins, putting him on 441 points for the championships. The senior championship on Sunday saw the women's class winner at Teza, Roxanne Baney, extend her championship lead to 102 points and she will be difficult to beat.
Second and third places at Teza went to Kirsty Charlton and Kate Stephenson, who are now tying the championship on 148 points.
Malan, who raced in the junior section on Saturday, also took two firsts in both heats in the 85B class in the senior's championships, with rival Nicholas Adams finishing second.
Consistency was the name of the game in the 85 Pro Mini class with Damon Strydom, Brendon Flemming and Bradley Galbraith notching up first, second and third places respectively in both heats.
Matthew English, Michael Parkinson and Sean Fowles were in the top three in both heats, with English taking top spot with two wins.
The 125cc B class also saw three riders dominate with Michael Morgan and Steve Baker swapping first and third positions in the two heats, while Dylan van Belkum finishing a consistent second in both heats.
Open Support B was a closed affair with Damion Souchon, Altus de Wet and Michael Spencer taking the top three spots in both heats.
This scenario was repeated by Brett Gray, Bruce May and Brendon Crookes in the Vets and Masters classes.
The Red Yamaha team of Shaun Ford, Brad Purchase and Wesley de Jager took the top three places in the Open Seniors class.
The top three spots in the 125 A class went to Greg Keague, Jason Davies and Ryand Lindeque.
