Clarke's win, Grieve's title, Ward is top Rookie...

Superb racing once again with the added spice and tension added as the final championship placings were up for grabs. Lawrence Davey's mathematical championship chance disappeared when he went off in the early stages of the first race although he rejoined down the order. Dave Newsham stormed away from the front row whilst the other contenders fought their way through the pack. Jamie Clarke had made a lightning start from row four and was up into second at the end of the first lap although Dave was nearly three seconds ahead. Jamie reeled in the 50 car over the next five laps and went past on the last lap to cut the points gap between Dave an himself from 40 to 25 points. Steve Thompson also had a good drive from the 5th row to third whilst Chris Grieve was taking now chances posting a workman like 7th place to keep his championship lead at over 300 points.

With Chris on the front row for the second race few would have bet against him taking the win at the title at the same time although a top seven finish was all he needed. As predicted he shot into the lead but had the now consistent front running Simon Belcher all over him. The pair raced hard with Belcher taking the lead on lap three before Grieve moved to the front once again on lap five. The Clarke, Newsham battle caught and passed Belcher too before the final stages with Jamie again beating Dave to narrow the gap to just 10 points for the last race. Grieve's win was a fitting way to secure the title and end his season - the Hexham youngster electing not to compete in the last race to save his car for the World Championships at Sears Point in November instead.

Chris and team were watching the final race at the Mountain and saw another enthralling race unfold. Lawrence Davey's difficult day seemed to be on the turn as he led in the early stages from Lee Fitzpatrick and Simon Belcher. Simon eventually took second on lap four whilst further back Jamie Clarke had passed Dave Newsham and was climbing up the order. Jamie went off the circuit at the top of the Mountain as he and Derek Pierce had the same idea at the same time. Jamie rejoined a way down the order in eleventh but was far from finished as he started to carve his way through the pack once again. DaVew Newsham was into third by lap four and cutting the lead held by Belcher and Fitzptrick - the pair not doing themselves any favours by battling with each other for the lead. Lee was the first victim of pressure from Dave on the penultimate lap - the number two car going into the back of Simon Belcher and then going off and dropping back. Simon too lost out on the last lap, not just to Newsham as Clarke went through as well having recovered superbly. If he could pass Newsham in the race then he would also pass him in the final table as well - it wasn't to be as Dave held on superbly to soak up the pressure, take the win and with it the runner up slot in the 2006 Legends Cars championship.

Dave Ward had already secured the 2006 Rookie Championship at Brands but second place in the newcomers table was still up for grabs. Darren Gaulton secured that place in the second heat.
