JEC XJS Championship - Lydden Hill 8^th August 2004:

A full 21-car grid took the track for the race including Sam Clarke who started thanks to the generosity of David Eyles who switched races to allow a reserve to race.

Derek Pearce again took the lead but, with the disadvantage of an automatic could only hold off Steve Davis until lap 8 when a daring overtaking manoeuvre on the grass saw Steve Davis take the lead and the chequered flag.

Sam Clarke, who started at the back of the grid, was the star of the race fighting through to 3rd overall despite strong opposition from Hands in particular. This was master class to others in safe overtaking and not barging through regardless.

Strong battles between David Upton/Stewart Lyddell and Boon/Silverton kept the crown enthralled. Class wins to Steve Davis, Derek Pearce, Sean Collin and Jocelyn-Brown
