Treloar has now won the state title a record 23 times and the last six times straight that the title has been contested - his longest unbeaten run in the championship.
The pairing started as firm favourites and justified their standing with a master class performance winning all five qualifying heats and the championship final.
The duo has an unbeaten record in the last three race meetings that they have contested - the Sidecar Stampede at Kurri Kurri on Australia Day, the Bowes Family Cup at Gillman Speedway, South Australia three weeks ago and now the NSW Sidecar Championship at Kurri Kurri Speedway - an amazing run of 17 straight race wins.
The long time rivalry between Treloar and local favourite Grant Bond continued with Bond and his passenger Glenn Cox finishing the qualifying heats with second top score of 14 points - their only loss being at the hands of Treloar.
It wasn't to be a happy championship final for the pair with Glenn Cox having a harmless tumble on the last lap while they were holding third place and they failed to finish the event.
Sydney-siders Shane Hudson and Adam Constable qualified directly to the championship final as third highest point scorers with 13 points.
By winning the B Final, Broken Hill rider Rick Stephens and his South Australian passenger Mick O'Brien completed the final makeup.
Aided by his trademark great start, Treloar took the lead in the first turn and was never headed.
Hudson made a strong inside pass on Bond in the opening lap to take second place. Stephens was handed third place as a result of Bond's mishap.
The 2022 NSW Senior Speedway Sidecar Championship concluded the summer season of night racing at Kurri Kurri Speedway. The autumn/winter daytime racing is scheduled to start in April.
