Riders from the iconic Boolooroo Raceway in Moree had a strong showing at the recently held King of MX State Titles Final in Nowra over the June long weekend.
Following six qualifiers in different parts of the state, including the second round being hosted by Moree, the top six riders in each competitive age group and motorcycle size would qualify to fight it out in the state final.
Not only would the winner be crowned the 2019 state champion, but $10,000 was also at stake in each of the King and Queen of MX races.
Originally meant to be held in Goulburn, the finals had a late venue change to the Nowra Motorcycle Club.

13 MMC riders qualified for the final, with seven able to make the nine hour drive to Nowra to compete.
Juniors Kenji Thomas, Max Anderson, Jackson Gaiero, Jacob Berry, Vincent Coventry made the trip and rode extremely well in a very rough and rutted track and all achieved personal bests.
In the seniors, Chris Thomas and Dylan Marchand had their work cut out with some very tough competition, and came out with flying colours.
Thomas finished fourth in the over 35s and Marchand placed second in the MX1 B grade as well as first in MX2 B grade making him a state champion two years running.
Across the same weekend, five female MMC members competed in the Women on Wheels (WoW) in Wawrick.
While only in its second year, the WoW series is attracting large numbers of dedicated and talented riders from both Queensland and NSW.
All Moree riders taking part in this event showed great skills and commitment and achieved outstanding results.
Chloe McMillan finished second overall in the 65cc class, Holly Van Vegchel and Zohie Lobsey placed fourth and sixth respectively in the 125-250cc class.
Sienna Ritchie finished seventh in the 85cc class while Julie Denyer achieved a second place finish in the Senior B grade.
The club is now looking ahead to July 29 when the eighth round of the MX Nationals visit Moree, bringing some of the best riders in the country.
There is sure to be plenty of great racing at the Boolooroo complex with its unique track and soil type, with a number of Moree talents on show as well.
Spectators will be in for a treat whether watching the action packed racing, walking through the pits to glance at the pro riders, their machines and get ups or enjoying some food and beverages at the canteen.
