Ferris put in a flawless display to extend his record to six straight victories at the Shoalhaven event and increase his margin at the top of the Championships standings after round six.
The CDR Yamaha rider won the first race by 15 seconds before backing it up with a 12 second triumph in race two.
Ferris was ecstatic with the results after qualifying second for the opening race behind eventual runner-up Brett Metcalfe.
“A 15 and 12 second win look great on paper but on this track, that takes an enormous amount of work and you are never safe,” he said.
“Nowra is a track that is very easy to lose time and difficult to make it back so it requires a lot of focus on the track to keep punching out consistently fast laps. It was a great way to start the second half of the year and showed the team and I have continued to work hard over the break.”
