Central Drift Teams Taylor James and Australian drifting legend Luke Fink split the wins in the first Repco D1NZ doubleheader at Manfeild.
In trying conditions, Round 3 was decided in favour of James after an intense battle with Jordan Joyce as the latter was forced to make a slight correction.
Fink displayed his strong form by finishing Round 3 third after falling to Joyce in the semi-finals as he defeated Dave Steedman in the wet conditions.
Fink made up for it in Round 4 by taking the JDM Racing Nissan S15 Silvia to victory in Round 4 meeting the current championship leader Kase Pullen-Bury.
Pullen-Bury had to move through after a tough battle with Steedman, but a superior chase from the title leader placed him in front when the judges casted their vote.
Having moved through his battle with Cody Pullen-Bury, Taylor faced his older brother though an electrical problem arose forcing him to withdraw from his Top 4 battle.
It was rectified ahead of the battle for third, some 30 seconds prior as Taylor rewarded the effort to take the position defeating Connor Halligan.
In Pro-Sport Daniel Smith and Deane Young shared the spoils in Pro Sport as Keisuke Nagashima leads the way.
Fink now takes second in the standings, but is 94-points behind Pullen-Bury heading to the Baypark Grand Finale on May 12-13.
