Davis Family Racing News Subscribe: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 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.
