The Greenhill track also trialled a 250cc demonstration with Tate Zischke from Queensland riding.
"The track accommodated it, Darcy Ward made the comment we've got to tweak a few things with the track to make it a bit safer and then we can actually host 250 speedway meetings," Spurgin added.

In the individual event, Holder finished second in the B final with Sonny placing closely behind him in third.
Spurgin has a range of events on the horizon, with NSW titles at Central Coast, Qld titles and Darcy Ward invitational in Brisbane occurring in the back end of this year.
