The Escort Mk2 pilot twice topped his Modified Fords class at Snetterton - where there were only just enough starters for the wins to count - to take his tally for the year so far to 12 and enable him to leapfrog Dan Brown and Mckenzie Douglass to move into second on the leaderboard.
Brown was also in action at the weekend but, unusually, was not triumphant in the Racing Hondas category during its visit to Oulton Park, and the early season table-topper therefore falls to third.
He could easily have slipped back a further spot had Ben Short not had a tough start to his Mazda MX-5 Cup weekend at Cadwell Park.
The four-time series champion had been unbeaten so far this season but had all of his lap times deleted in qualifying for repeated track-limits abuses and was then penalised for contact in the opening race.
However, he bounced back to triumph in the remaining two contests, to take his 2024 total to 10 wins and enable him to climb two positions in the rankings to fourth. But he would now be third had it been a hat-trick.
The only other change inside the top 10 is courtesy of a driver who did enjoy some Racing Hondas success. Ryan Cunningham topped Class C in one of the Oulton bouts, but he also failed to register a clean sweep so his progress is limited to moving from 21st to 10th.
Cunningham is one position above Stuart Bliss, who was victorious in both of the CityCar Cup thrashes at Snetterton in his Toyota Aygo, sending him 30 places up the table.
A driver who enjoyed treble success was Andy Hiley at Cadwell. He headed both Sport Specials races, before joining forces with Jonathan Weston-Taylor in a Lotus Elise to also prevail in the Roadsports mini-enduro, allowing him to jump up from outside last week's leaderboard and into 16th spot.
Formula Vee racer Bill Garner also made a similar improvement to 24th after triumphing twice in Class B at Cadwell to round off the improvers in the top half of the table.

All car races in UK and Ireland are included except qualification/repechage, consolation and handicap races. No races in other countries.
Class wins are only counted when there are at least six starters in the class, except: when the race is part of a multi-stage event where six or more have taken part in earlier heats that feed into a semi-final or final; when multiple championships are merged in the same race, the ‘overall’ winner from the slower championship can count a class win as long as that championship has at least 10 starters across all classes. Only classes divided by car characteristics are included, not those divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, experience (for example rookie or Pro-Am classes). Each race counts only once, so an overall winner’s class win is not added.
Where there is a tie, overall wins take precedence. Where there is still a tie, average grid size for a driver’s wins determines the order.
