He had one desire when he started racing, to win Championships in all four of its classes - Junior, C, B, and A Class.

He competed in the Junior Class, for vehicles with engines up to 110cc, and secured the Championship in 2013.

He then took a five year break.

In 2019, at the age of 16, he decided to build a C Class Mower with a 200cc engine and finished second in the Championship.

Then in 2020, he raced in C Class again. This time he won the Championship.

In 2021 he built a B Class mower and won a Championship at that level too.

Blake built an A Class, 450cc, mower at the age of 18 in 2022.

In that mower her competed in the Australian National Championships, and won, which made him number one in the country.

He also set a record for the fastest time in Australia.

Blake raced in A Class for the rest of 2022-23, and won the A Class Championship.

Racing in A Class last season had some exciting moments as he was racing against his father who also won many championships.

Blake is the only Arolma competitor that has won every class championships.
