Oreti Park Speedway's Grant Tregoning has completed a Burt Munro hat-trick.

The Christchurch-based rider claimed his third consecutive solo title at the Burt Munro Speedway Spectacular on Saturday night.

"I'm over the moon – to win it three years in a row is awesome," Tregoning said.

"It's really become a worldwide event – people come from everywhere to race.

"It's just such a massive weekend," he said.

Tregoning claimed the solo crown ahead of fellow Cantabrians Dale Finch and Andy Aldridge.

"We all do quite a lot of riding together but it still doesn't make it any easier to beat them."

Whanganui's John Pitt and Kervin Demanser held off a strong challenge from Invercargill's Fraser Gillespie and Nigel Cuckow to win the sidecar title, while Matthew Heenan, of Invercargill, took top honours in the solo support class. Auckland's Brendon Manu won the solo classic event, with Invercargill's Adam Shuttleworth securing the junior solo title.Results:Solo: Grant Tregoning (Oreti) 1; Dale Finch (Chch) 2; Andy Aldridge (Chch), 3.
