Thirteen-years boys NSW State Series champion, Cooper Sellars said he loved the track after placing first in the state in his age group.
Cooper who has been all through Queensland and down to Victoria for competitions, said Bathurst was one of his favourite tracks.
"Its awesome, I love it. The second straight isn't as big now, before it was huge, but now it's easier to jump.
"The berms (corners) are also really grippy."
"The gates are awesome; they are barrel gates, which means they are really fast," he said.
He rated the track a "7/10" and said it is "one of the best he's been on."
Paula Griffiths, from Newcastle, was in Bathurst to watch a family friend, Alex Cameron, competing in the state titles.
