On a night that saw close to 80 riders take to the track across the senior and junior divisions, it was Farr who took maximum points in the prestigious series, leaving Dylan Eather, Aaron Willmot, Alex Russell and Mudgee's Hamish Burke to fight out the podium placings.
In what was a tightly contested event, talented young rider Haylee Fuller claimed honours in the Bettaframe and Truss women's wheelrace over her older rivals in Heather Ticehurst (second), Simone Grounds (third), Catherine Fuller (fourth) and Sarah Granger (fifth).
The Bettaframe and Truss men's consolation wheelrace was won by David Gerrish ahead of Sam Fitzgerald in second, Tim Hines in third, Jeff Sargent in fourth and Craig Granger in fifth.
Brodie Wheeler atoned for his second placing in the first round of the junior wheelrace by taking out Tuesday's second round over Zac Fuller in second, Imogen Fuller in third, Isabelle Russell in fourth and Zara Fuller in fifth.
Emily Hines and Rocco Wrigley finished with two wins a piece in the junior development division, with Chris Gilbert, Georgia Farr, Jess Fuller and Lachlan Farr claiming placings throughout the night.
Tyrone Smyth (two and three-lap scratch race) and Tom Russell (two-lap handicap) won the junior division two events, while Brodie Wheeler won the three junior division one events leaving Zara Fuller and Joe Sinclair to battle for the minor placings.
Lachie Clark won both the four-lap and five-lap D-grade events and Jason Canobie won the two-lap handicap, with Michelle Fuller, Sarah Granger, Lachlan Sinclair and Canobie taking out the minor placings over the three events.
Aaron and Greg Willmot made their return to track racing for the season and won the C-grade two-lap handicap and six-lap scratch races respectively and Heather Ticehurst was the victor in the four-lap scratch race.
The B-grade 10-lap scratch race and six-lap scratch race were taken out by Alex Russell, while limit marker Dave Clark was unable to be caught by the chasing bunch in the two-lap handicap.
Mudgee's Hamish Burke won the A-grade 10-lap scratch race over Mick Ticehurst and Luke Ensor, while Tim Hines won the A-grade two-lap handicap ahead of Ensor and Adam Mitchell, and Ensor won the eight-lap scratch race with Ticehurst in second and Kurt Eather in third.
This week's novelty race was a win and out event, which is a race where riders are eliminated from the race for being first across the line on each sprint lap and are awarded a final placing based on when they were eliminated.
Next Tuesday evening will see the second kid's trophy night of the season for the junior riders, while the senior riders will continue with club racing with sign on from 5.45pm to 6.20pm and racing to begin at 6.30pm at Victoria Park No.1 Oval.
