October 26th was the final round of the Proline Bowtie Series held at Dartford Race Track in Kent. Over 63 different buggy drivers took part over the 8 Round summer series and with count back rounds now coming into the play it had come down to a three horse race for the championship between Reece Ashby, Ricky Burnett (XRAY) and Jason Dixon (XRAY). There was hardly anything in it with all three drivers having similar results throughout the series two podium finishes each and regular top 5 finishes.
The track was damp and sticky and some drivers where getting caught out with there cars getting bogged down with the weight of the mud after the ten minute qualifiers. Elliot Boots TQ'd the meeting followed by Reece Ashby and Jason Dixon. Ricky Burnett had engine troubles throughout the day and only clocked one decent run so had it all to do from the back of the grid.
The heavens opened up just before the finals and the organiser decided to run ten minute finals. All the drivers agreed and went back to the pits frantically waterproofing there cars as best as they could.
