But when he he puts his skills to the test against the best in Australia once more later this month at the national titles, he is hoping to be in the spotlight for a different reason.

Griffiths will form part of a two-bike assault at the 2016 Australian Senior Dirt Track Titles, which will be held at Barleigh Ranch, Raymond Terrance, on August 13-14.

He will race his 750cc bike with the experienced Paul Cooper as his swinger, while Griffiths’ 600cc bike will have Joel Eaton (rider) and Scott Sheils (swinger) on board.

"Joel and Scott are both from Queensland and Joel has actually had placings in the Australian titles before,” Griffiths said.

“He actually did an add on facebook wanting to hire a bike and the guys I originally had lined up had to pull out, so it worked out well.

"He'll give it a good crack, if I don't make the final I am pretty hopeful that he will have a fair chance of getting up there.”

While Griffiths believes the Queensland duo can push for an overall podium, he is more conservative in his goals for himself and Cooper.

"Realistically because there is three grids, it looks like we have got about 18 bikes, I think they will run six or seven rounds and then they'll do a repechage final,” he said.

"I'd be pretty happy to make the repechage, if I can get in that I will give it a good crack. If I end up in the final, great I end up in the final, but I'd be happy with the repechage.

"There are some big hitters going, blokes that I could only dream to be close to.”

Though playing down his chances, Griffiths knows he has a strong team-mate at his side in Cooper. In May the duo placed fourth at the New South Wales Senior Track Titles at Tamworth, narrowly missing the podium.

"Paul has been doing this for 13 years, but has never done a title match of any description. He is so pumped, it is just a shame we are not going to get a run together before it because he lives in Canberra,” Griffiths said.

"When Paul came with me to Tamworth, I knew that he knew what he could do, so I just rode the bike.

“It felt like it was a two-wheeler, I couldn't feel him move, everything just felt perfect, so I just went for it.”

Griffiths himself has improved over the last 12 months and is keen to perform better at the Australian titles.

On Sunday he worked on his skills at Woodstock and a fortnight earlier when racing at Nepean on the 600cc, picked up three podium placings against competitors on 900cc entries.

"I am improving yeah, everything is changing - the set up, my confidence,” he said.

"I used to roll off fairly early then accelerate from the corner like I was taught to do, now it is don't back off at all.

"I raced at the Australian titles last year and I hit the wall first round. That was at Taree. The wall hit my head, I was pretty lucky though. I ached all over, but there was no serious injury.

"I have raced at Raymond Terrace before … the surface of the track I liked. As long as preparation goes into it and the rain stays away, it is a pretty good and fast track.”
