MotoOnline.com.au highlights three standout performances from the weekend’s sixth round of the 2015 MX Nationals at Raymond Terrace. Radar isn’t strictly about the winners, it’s about the unsung racers that we spot performing above expectations on any given race weekend.

Daniel McEntee (Kawasaki) – MX1, 14th overall:
On paper position 14 isn’t high up the order, but when you consider the depth of this year’s premier MX1 class then Dan McEntee’s results are definitely impressive right there at the tail-end of the factory entrants. McEntee was 14th in the opening moto and then backed that result up with a 13th in moto two, indicating his continued progression as a full-on privateer contesting the entire series this year. Expect a strong second half of the season for the #86.

Joel Whightman (CRF Honda Racing) – MX2, 15th overall:
Joel Wightman caught our attention in the opening moto with a respectable eighth position on board the Honda-supported CRF250R in what was his home round, the Singleton local going on to improve even further and claim seventh in moto two. Those moto results landed him seventh overall ahead of some big names and further displayed his potential on the brand new team. If things go his way from here then a top 10 in the points isn’t out of reach.

Nick Sutherland (TM) – MX2, 17th overall:
A quick glance at the overall results don’t do Nick Sutherland’s performance justice from the weekend, credited 17th overall due to an early mechanical DNF in the opening moto. He was spotted watching on with the spectators while race one went down, however once the gates dropped in moto two he was right back in the mix and eventually crossed the finish line in sixth position. It was a really impressive return to the MX Nationals series.
