Brett's second run back in a Clubman
Brett competed his second time back in clubman for over 10 years, at geelong.
He struggled to get on the pace early but by the final was starting to get there. He wasn't happy running around in the back half of the field and realised he would have to put in quite a bit of effort to re-establish himself again in clubman. He has since decided to retire for good and sell everything and persue some of his other interests.
All the karting gear we have, including the Trailer, and many Arrow spare parts are FOR SALE.

Brett's first run back in a Clubman
Brett competed his first time back in clubman for over 10 years, at the Club Championships at Todd Road in November.
He got one practice session and straight into it, qualifying mid field, got mixed results in the heats, and started on grid 3 for the final. He produced some very fast laps in the final and tried to take second on the last lap, but unfortunately spun the kart out of contention.
We were very happy with the overall results, showing that he should be very competitive when we start racing this comming season.

Brett switching to Clubman
Over the last few months there has not been good fields in Rotax Light, with the exception of the major events, so Brett is selling the Rotax outfit and moving back to clubman heavy where there is much more competition.
We have competed at the Victorian Open Champs, and Rotax Pro Tour events at Newcastle, Melbourne, & Raleigh, with Brett finishing in the top 5 or 6 at all events.

Brett now racing Rotax Light
Brett has been in the Gym getting fit and has lost a bit of weight, he now has to run Rotax light because he can not make the kart weight 100kg maximum.
It has been several years since Brett ran Rotax light and he has to learn the set-up all over again. Our testing has been encouraging, but until you race it is hard to guage where you are relative to the competition.

We had our first race for 2009 in Rotax light at Geelong last weekend and were quite happy with the performance in dry conditions, but need to do a bit of work on our wet set-up.
Brett was third quickest in the prefinal in the dry, and finished 6th. He was looking forward to the final to see if some minor changes gave him enough to win, but we were beaten by the rain and had to test the wet set-up again. He finished 7th and not happy with the weather.

Happy New Year
Davidson's Precision Racing would like to wish you all the very best for 2009.

We have had some difficulties with this site in the last year, but have now shifted to a new host and things should improve from now on.

Brett, and Darren Anderson competed in the MoJo 4hr Enduro at Todd Rd before Christmas and had the bad luck to have a $2 ignition switch fail, which took about 30 laps to find, consequently putting them out of contention. This problem could be the cause of some of the problems we have encountered for several months, the switch looked good from outside, but was broken inside and causing intermitent loss of ignition.
I guess you can check and double check things and still have something go wrong.
(That's Motorsport)

2008 Rotax Nationals. - GKCV Todd Rd.
Brett struggled to get the set-up right and qualified 10th in a very competitive field of Rotax Heavy drivers. Just 1 second separated the top 34 drivers.
With a 3rd, 5th. & a 6th in the heats, Brett started on grid 9 for the pre-final and finished 9th. The weekend was looking pretty grim, we just couln't find the set-up.
For the final we changed a couple of things and it improved the performance considerably allowing Brett to post his best time for the weekend and get up to 5th before getting a small touch from Mike Godsell as he went past, breaking a tie rod and finished our race.
Final results.
1. Kel Treseder 2. Mike Godsell 3. Rick Pringle 4. William Yarwood 5. Andrew Torville

2008 Victorian Open Championships - Geelong.
Brett qualified third in a very competitive field of Rotax Heavy drivers. Conditions over the weekend were cold and cloudy one minute, then a little rain, with some warm sunny times as well, so it was a bit challenging for all drivers.
Brett found a little in the heats and prefinal, and moved up to start on grid 2 for the final. Pringle had a near perfect set-up for the final, along with Myers, and Torville, Brett could not quite match it and finished forth.

Brett teamed up with Darren Anderson for the enduro and they qualified about 10th, and even with a stop to replace a broken chain losing at least 3 laps, managed to finish 7th just 3 laps down.
Darren and Brett were both very satasfied with their fist attempt at an enduro.

7-December-2007
2007 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Final - Al Ain Raceway in Uinted Arab Emirates.
Although Brett won his spot to compete at the grand final quite easily, it meant that he would be racing a class that was completely new to him. He had never raced at kart with either front brakes, or a gearbox, both requiring quite different driving techniques.
As there is no competition for DD2 in Australia, all we could hope for was that there were a few drivers from other countries in the same situation, (not so). Consequently, Brett's results were as we expected, and with the bad luck he also had in the heats, (an engine main bearing failure in the warm up, a major crash in the first heat, and a 10sec penalty in the second heat) he did not qualify for the finals.
Tom Williamson, the other Australian competitor in DD2, had experience racing ICC for 12 months which gave him a good grounding for DD2, and did extremely well finishing 4th in the final.
Although the race results were not good, we still thoroughly enjoyed the experience racing at Al Ain, it was the worlds biggest karting event ever in the history of karting, and was considerably improved from our first experience at the inaugral event in Puerto Rico 6 years ago.
The Rotax Max Challenge Grand Final is now a true world karting championship, and is a prize that should be vigorously sort after in the future.

7-September-2007
2007 Rotax Nationals.
Brett had a disappointing qualifying at Ipswich, managing only 14th. It was the first time we had seen the Ipswich track, and like most drivers at there first outing there, had difficulties getting a good set-up. After many major chassis changes, he managed to make inroads on the front runners during the heats and prefinal, and finished 6th in the final. The final results were;
1. Kel Treseder 2. William Yarwood 3. Matthew Worling 4. Matt Greenbury 5. Matt Solman

20-August-2007
A thrilling final for Rotax Heavy at City of Melbourne Titles.
Brett qualified 2nd, 0.129 seconds behind Luke Price, with Brad Wyatt and Ashley Pollard close behind him. The first 6 grid spots didn't change until the final, Brett started on pole, with Luke on grid 2. Brett won the start but had an engine hiccup and lost 7 places on the first turn. He then put in some really quick times and managed to catch Luke and passed him, but Luke wasn't giving in and took the lead again. With only a short distance to go Brett passed Luke again, and once again Luke prevailed and went on to win. The final results were;
1. Luke Price 2. Brett Davidson 3. Ashley Pollard 4. Brad Wyatt 5. Jason Stania

Yet another clean sweep at Geelong and Brett has now secured his trip to Dubai for the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Final.
We have been doing a bit of testing the last few weeks and it looks like it is paying dividends. Brett had been struggling to keep in front of his competitors the last few meetings, and with the Nationals coming up, we thought it was time to improve. We found a little in the carby set-up and a little in the engine configuration, just enough to find a tenth or two all together. Nice to see Jason Stania back in a Rotax. Brett won all four races, most with a comfortable margin. The final results were;
1. Brett Davidson 2. Brad Wyatt 3. Jason Stania 4. Nathan Van Es 5. Tony Ciccone

Brett makes a clean sweep at Oakleigh.
Armed with a brand new Arrow AX9 B-Max, Brett set things right first up by putting it in the mud a couple of times in the wet, first practice session for the weekend. However when it came to racing, he showed the field just what an Arrow AX9 B-Max looks like from behind at a long distance. Brett won all four Rotax Heavy races by a comfortable margin, the final results were
1. Brett Davidson 2. Lucas Price 3. Mark Tracey 4. Steve Johnson.

Brett 3rd at Victorian Open Championships.
After a good lead-up practice Brett qualified a close 2nd behind Kel Treseder, he could not get a clear lap until the fifth lap and the best laps of the tyres was gone. He then had engine problems in the second qualifier, and a flat right rear tyre in the first heat, finishing 9th. So it was not a good start to the weekend.
He finished 2nd in the 2nd heat and 4th in a wet pre final.
Starting from grid 4 in the final on another wet track, he quickly got to the front and pulled away from the field, but the track was drying very rapidly and the other front runners caught and passed him by about lap 7 or 8. His team mate Luke Price slid into him as he was about to pass, knocking Brett off the track and across the field. He was able to rejoin and let the leaders through to regain his position and hold it to the finish.
Finishing order: Kel Treseder, Nathan van Es, Brett Davidson, Luke Price, Brad Wyatt. Full results can be found at www.My Laps.com

Brett wins City of Melbourne Titles.

We finally sorted out our engine problems and got down to the task of winning races. The main source of our problems was the power valve spring, and the settings to suit it. We somehow got a spring that had a different spring rate to most, and we did not get it working the way it should causing all sorts of problems, always disguised as something else. I guess that's motor racing.
Brett qualified second, just .03secs behind Luke Price and went on to win all races except the second heat where he came second. The final results were
1. Brett Davidson 2. Brad Wyatt 3. Lucas Price 4.Ashley Pollard.

Brett 4th at Newcastle.

After much testing and engine rebuilding prior to going to Newcastle for the Rotax Australian National Championships, we were still have problems with our engine on the first practice day on Thursday, but finally tracked the cause to the Power Valve. We still have not fully identified exactly what was wrong but expect it to be either the spring or the bellows.
Brett qualified 9th and spat a chain in the first heat so not a good start to the event, he finished in 6th and 7th in the next 2 heats which gave him grid 14 for the pre-final. He finished that strongly in 7th place giving him grid 7 for the final. From there the best we could expect was 4th or 5th, so finishing 4th was a real accomplishment and we will now look ahead to the next event The City of Melbourne Titles on september 16th & 17th.
Congratulations go to Willie Yarwood for qualifying on pole and taking out his 4th straight title.
Congratulations also to Newcastle local driver and Jet-Plus user Todd Davey, he managed to qualify just 0.07secs behind William on grid two, Todd was on grid 3 for the final and looking very good for a podium but unfortunately didn't finish.
Kel Treseder put in a strong performance all weekend finishing 2nd, Jared Carlyle finished third, and Tom Williamson finished behind Brett in fifth place. Goto MyLapps.com for all the results

Brett gets another 2nd at Geelong.

Although Brett was consistently the fastest in the field he had problems with his kart not accelerating fully out of some corners, and it cost him dearly. We have not been able to track down the problem as yet, but will report here with the cure, if and when we find it.

Rotax Jetting in UK.

Although we have received feedback from various parts of the world to suggest that Jet-Plus calibration is very good, we also have received feedback that Rotax Max 125 jetting generally used in the U.K. is considerably leaner than the supplied Jet-Plus calibration. We have not been able to find a conclusive reason for this difference but wish to advise Jet-Plus users to create a "New" vehicle and calibrate it to suit.
As we get more accurate information we will create a new vehicle file and make it available for download

Brett 2nd at Victorian Open Championships.

Engine and set-up problems during the early sessions made qualifying a bit difficult but he still managed 5th fastest in a top class field. After qualifying we changed engines and started to get the chassis set-up sorted out. A first corner incident in the first heat put him back to a long last and finish last, but he managed to get through the heats with enough points to to start on grid 5 for the pre-final and finished that in 5th place making it a grid 5 start for all races. In the final Brett was very determined to win and gave it all he had but with the accumulating effects of the early problems we didn't get it quite good enough and he had to see his team mate Aron Rintoul take the honours with Kel Treseder behind in third.

28-Nov-2005
Brett robbed of chance to win South Australian State Championships.

Brett set the pace in the first qualifying session with 36.141 in poor track conditions after producing times of 35.6's in practice.
With the weather changing and making the track considerably faster for the second qualifying session, Brett was unable to get a good clear lap and managed to only slightly improve with 35.966 and was pushed back to 4th overall.
Through the heats there was very little between Kel Treseder, Michael Pereira, and Brett, and the final looked like going down to the wire with any of the three to win. After changing positions several times in the early laps they settled down with Treseder in the lead, Brett right behind and Pereira right behind Brett. With about 8 laps to go Michael took a chance to go under Brett but they came together and both lost 10 or 20 lengths on Kel with not enough time to catch up, and they finished,
1 Kel Treseder, 2 Brett Davidson, 3 Michael Pereira, 4 Bradley Moody, 5 Ben Walter.
