The first title Spinks came away with was King at the ACT King and Queens of Canberra on the weekend of February 28 and March 1.
This is the sixth consecutive year Spinks, 15, has won the title, winning the Junior Lites 125CC 2 stroke class on his KTM bike.
He also recorded a third place in combined class on his Honda, even after a machine malfunction.
Spinks then recorded a win in the Nepean Raceway Junior 125/250 Class on March 8.
He set the fastest junior lap time on the day, and his time was even competitive with the winner of the senior 250/450 classes.
Then on Saturday, Spinks competed at the NSW long track titles at Gunnedah and won the junior event – the under-16 125/250cc class.
Spinks will now prepare for the upcoming Queensland Dirt Track and Long Track Championships in Brisbane from April 3 to 5.
He will also compete in the Australian and NSW junior dirt and long track championships later in the year.
Spinks started riding dirt bikes at age nine; his father Stephen is a former NSW, Victorian and Australian Champion.
Spinks tried his hand on the road bike in June last year with great success – he won the Sir Jack Brabham award for 2014 for his outstanding achievements in the sport of road racing.
He has a busy year ahead on the road bike as well, travelling to Victoria and South Australia for four rounds of the Pirelli Road Race Series later in the year, as well as competing in the upcoming FX Ninja 300 Series.
