A Huntingdon racer secured an emotional victory in a race held in memory of his father.
After four years of near misses, Guy Jolly lifted the trophy after taking first place at the Brian Jolly Memorial Meeting.
Guy lost his father Brian Jolly to Covid during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
Affectionately known as 'Joe' to his family, friends and teammates, the Brisca V8 Hotstox have held a memorial race in his honour ever since.
After losing out in 2021, coming second and then third in 2022 and 2023, Guy secured a heat win at the Suffolk Track on June 1 to gain a solid starting position in the final.
The race saw him pull clear of a 16-car field and lead for the majority of the 20 lap race, securing first place in an emotional win.
Reacting to his victory, Guy said: "Dad was a popular figure within the Brisca motorsport scene for a number of decades, and known for helping many teams out during meetings.
"As a son, it was a race I desperately wanted to win in his honour.
"It was race which hasn't been the best for me. We were agonisingly close to winning leading up to the last lap and eventually finishing second in 2022.
"However, this year it all came together and winning the qualifying heat earlier in the evening put me in a good spot for the final."
He added: "The last couple of laps were a mixture of relief, emotion as well and excitement.
"In a very nice twist the sun decided to beam down as the post-race ceremony commenced and I knew then we had someone watching over us, and dad would have liked that win."
The V8 Hotstox comprises full-size stock cars powered by Rover V8s with controlled rules on tyres and suspension.
Since 1984, the formula has retained its original identity of cheaper, fun, competitive racing.
The V8s race all over the UK in a gruelling eight month calendar consisting of 29 events.
