With round one of the Thor British Youth Nationals now in the history books, round two had a huge amount to live up to at Cusses Gorse, near Salisbury but it did it in style.
Every class was brimming with exceptional British Youth talent, with six blocks of exciting racing over two amazing days.
Maximum man Alexander Brown lost his unbeaten streak when he crashed on the start in race one, putting paid to his 100 per cent 125cc class record.
And in the final moto of the weekend he was beaten to the flag by runner-up Oli Benton, who has giving it his all to catch the flying Scotsman over the first two rounds of the series.
Callum Green rounded out the podium in third with Dee-Jay Walker and Charlie Cole filling out the top five.
The Junior class is packed with future British championship talent.
Over the six races it produced three different race winners – Vinnie Guthrie, Alfie Jones and Charlie Heyman.
But it was the lad with the mohawk, little Vinnie Guthrie who produced the speed and consistency to claim the overall.
Alfie Jones was impressive all weekend in second and Raife Broadley was ripping round in third.
Morgan Evans and round one winner Charlie Heyman finished in fifth and sixth respectively.
With the track in prime condition thanks to the digger skills of Justin Barclay and his sidekick Tim Rees, the racing in the Big-Wheel 85 class was exceptional.
The battles were really hard-fought with four different race winners across the six races.
After two days of racing, Tom Grimshaw emerged on top, a single point ahead of Dylan Woodcock. Consistency was the key for Tom even though Dylan won three out of the six races.
Harry Kimber and Callum Mitchell showed great speed to win races with Harry doing enough to finish third.
