Pelaw Main's Rohan Tungate overcame a bent bike and blown engine to claim victory in the final of the Border leg of the series.
Incredibly, Tungate and his crew paired up the engine from his first bike with the frame of his second to resurrect his title quest with eight points from a possible nine to finish the night with a leg victory and 14 points.

"It was a crazy, crazy night. Things were going wrong all night but we got there in the end," Tungate said.
"It was a big effort, that's for sure. It wasn't easy when your head is all over the place in that position."
Victorian rider Jaimon Lidsey was second behind Tungate in the final but leads the series on 19 points followed by reigning champion Max Fricke on 18 who was third in the final.
