Teesside pair Jeremy Saffin and Paul Wheatley were both winners in Eboracum MC’s Kay Trophy Trial at Ouseburn venue.
Wheatley, from Guisborough, cleaned up in the Clubman A class.
Borrowing his father’s Honda for the day - which Dad had just rebuilt - he edged the win on the most cleans rule from the Ossa-mounted Tom Grant.
Elder statesman Saffin, out on a Twin Shock Fantic, grabbed the win in the Clubman B Over-50 class.
He beat Dave Almack by five marks, after his rival dropped back with six marks lost on the eighth section.
The land proved remarkably dry for the event considering the rainfall and the 90-strong entry had a good day’s competition over a four-lap, 10-section course that included woodland climbs, streams and rocks.
Ollie Kendra won the coveted trophy by seven marks from Tom Hick, producing a better ride on the difficult climb over rocks on section five.
Shane Monkman topped Intermediate class with a solid ride, but 16-year- old Nikita Smith - who is challenging for British and World Championship honours again this season - pushed him close.
A loss of seven on the river crossing and climb of section six spoilt a good ride for the girl, but she did produce best ride of the day in her class on the awkwardly angled rocks of section five.
