Trevor McArthur won the coveted title, gaining four points more than his son Ben.
“Both of them raced consistently well and managed to limit the damage they sustained to finish all three races,” Lum said.
“It was a fine effort by them.
“They were both pretty rapt afterwards, and you could include Dave Downs in that, as well, in what's only his second season in a stockcar.”
Trevor McArthur said getting his name on the Ashley Scott Memorial Trophy was something he had wanted to do for some time.
“It's very cool . . . a lot of big names are on there,” he said.
“It was a good night.”
Earlier in the night the Phil Walsh Memorial for production saloons was won by Blake Dear (37G).
“The productions were exciting, too, and Anton McKay — driving his son Seth's car — gave Blake a real contest.”
Dear won all three of the races to take the title.
The youth ministocks raced well that night.
“Our young drivers who didn't go to the Ministocks in Paradise event had a good go at each other, and raced well,” Lum said.
“Abbey McCullum from Hawke's Bay raced exceptionally well, winning three out of three, including the feature race.
“Those were her first wins in the class since she started driving ministocks this summer.
“The meeting drew an average-sized crowd but they were well entertained by some excellent racing.”
At Rotorua on Saturday night, Gisborne's Koby Gooch (59G) took out Tier 2 (those who didn't quite make the top tier of 26 cars) of the Youth Ministocks in Paradise, the unofficial New Zealand championships.
Congratulations also go to Logan Bruce (71G), who took out the third tier of the event.
“Awesome driving boys” was how the club Facebook post put it.
