EGLINTON’S Kayden Minear was a dominant force at round 3 of the WAMX State Junior Motocross Championships.

The 11-year-old spent the day battling with fellow local rider Deacon Paice at the front of the 85cc nine to under-12 years but he was triumphant in all three races, extending his series lead to 37 points from Paice, and Seth Shackleton closed the gap to be only four points behind in third.

But the boys were at it again in the 65cc 10 to under-12 years, with Paice winning the first race but Minear taking the next two to win the round.
