 Engagement! |
Just thought I'd better let EVERYONE know that
Darren Mollenoyux and I got engaged on the
weekend! WOW right?
He even had picked the ring (which is perfect) and
had it sized correctly ready to go.
Needless to say I flashed my new bit of bling at
everyone I knew at the Avalon Swap Meet
yesterday :-)
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes, my head
is still in a cloud........

| Quick Results from Cairns 16/08/08 |
Heat 1 - 1st
Heat 2 - DNF involved in "incident" on start,
damaged the battery.
Heat 3 - wing adjuster was bent in "incident",
didnt realize till I hit the track and the wing
fell forward. Had to let the wing go on the start
so I could change gears then grabbed the wing
adjuster and pulled the wing forward against the
force of racing (it went back under speed) then
did 10 laps hanging on to the wing and steering
with one hand. Did most of the steering with my
feet, very interesting way to get around. Lucky
the car was kinda loose, what an experience.
Finished 3rd with the worse arm pump anyone could
imagine! My arms swelled up so huge and were hard
as rocks, ooooouuuuuucccccchhhhhh.
Started out of 4 in the feature, got up to 3rd
then stuffed up in the wet on the pole line and
finished 4th.
Another eventful night at Cairns International
Speedway....
Big thanks to Dad, Bro and Kev for helping out
during the night and to all the volunteers at
Cairns International Speedway for making the night
possible.
Congratulations to Jamie Korte (Qld #2) on his
feature win.

Hi Everyone!
Well if you havent checked out my racing calendar
I am going to be racing at Cairns International
Speedway this weekend.
When I last raced there in June we had the
regulator rectifier play up and ended up running
the heats with a flat battery. It wasnt until the
final we were able to put in an extra battery so
we could get through the race. We ended up coming
home in second spot behind my good friend Bryce
Allen (who has been blistering fast of late, one
to look out for in this years Oval Express Series
for sure).
Hopefully, with the help and dedication of my Dad
and brother Scott, this problem will be dealt with
before Saturday night and we will be back up to
speed.
I sure am looking forward to some sunshine and
warm
weather after the frost and rain here in
Warrnambool.
See you all there.

| NORTH QUEENSLAND UPDATE 28/06/08 |
With the winter months now in full swing, the
Formula 500’s once again are in season at Cairns
International Speedway.
A stellar line up of competitors rocked the
northern track on the 28th of June. With names
such as Jamie Korte (current Qld #2), David Baxter
and Deanne Davis traveling from afar to join well
known locals such as Bryce Allen and Glen
Underwood, the night was guaranteed to be an
exciting one.
All drivers had spent the "off season" developing
their cars and engines to try to gain the extra
edge to win.
Car manufacturers varied from Swift, Pace, LGM,
Eagle just to name a few.
A popular choice for engine modifications was
clearly Jettco Developments with Bryce Allen,
Deanne Davis and Jamie Korte all displaying the
Jettco sign on their Yamaha's and Kawasaki's.
It seemed to be the right choice for the night
with Deanne winning heat one and Bryce taking out
heat two and three.
Mother Nature threatened to cancel the night with
light rain before the feature races but it just
turned out to be the moisture needed as the track
became faster.
Allen and Davis started on the front row, once
again ready to resume the rivalry of last year.
Allen was quick to get the jump on the start and
charged into turn one with Davis and Underwood in
tow.
Underwood challenged Davis in the opening laps
before an unsuccessful pass attempt caused him to
momentarily half spin where Davis opened up the
gap between them.
Bryce and Deanne ran fast, clean laps and finished
a Davis Transport 1, 2.
Glen Underwood came in 3rd and Jamie Korte in 4th.
With results like these, it is fair to say Cairns
International Speedway is once again developing
some talented drivers to compete with the best in
this class.
