DAVE Messenger recovered from a nightmare start to impress at Rockingham.
The Eynsham driver, who competes in the Alfa Romeo Twin Spark Cup, qualified last after suffering mechanical problems.
But Messenger went onto finish fourth in the first race and then came second in race two behind championship leader Andrew Bourke.
The Oxon driver now lies fifth in the standings.
