Despite a mechanical issue in the final round ( at Clay Pigeon on October 25th) of the IndyBlue TnT Championship, Dean Smithers had scored enough points in the earlier rounds to achieve the overall win. Along with the 1st place series trophy he collected an all inclusive ski holliday in the Premier Ski Resort of Bansko.
The winner on the day was Max Gunter on 3 points, with James Dawkins and Stuart Gray 1 point behind in equal 2nd spot. David Waldron finished the day’s racing in 4th place, which was enough to secure him the Runner-up trophy along with a Ski Holiday package to Bansko. Mike Bell suffered a poor day, by his standards, but still managed to end the Championship in 3rd overall, eactly where he finished in 2024 !

Ron Shone wins the 2025 TABOR CHAMPIONSHIP at the final scoring round at Clay PIgeon on 25th October. It came down to ‘wheel to wheel’ contact on the last lap, as John Hartshorne got alongside with the chequered flag almost in sight. Shone, however, was not about to give it up and hung on to cross the line ahead of his year long arch rival. Mike Bell, having a poor meeting by his standards, still managed to save 3rd place overall, from a surging Max Gunter who had snatched 4th place and the accompanying £ 200 prize from Robin Stoddart-Stones.
