750 Motor Club,  Mallory Park, 24th October 2004
Seven 500s joined the 750 Trophy cars at Mallory Park, for the final round of 2004. The Championship had already gone to James Culver but the remaining podium positions were still undecided with Bob Culver and Geoff Gartside still in the hunt. The weather remained dry for practice and race but was still slippery following the overnight rain. In the race, it was John Turner who initially took the fight to the 750 Trophy cars but a blown engine, on lap three, left the way clear for Bob Culver to take the class win with 4th overall and a 10 point haul. Geoff was never quite able to match Bob's pace, taking second in class, followed by Shirley Monro, a further 14 seconds in areas. John Chisholm made the finish in the Arnott is spite of on going fuel problems and Roy Wright also suffered carburettor problems, retiring on lap 4. Paul Hewes enjoyed a fine battle with Shirley until lap 7 when his gearbox failed.
