Proformance Racing Team press release:

Proformance Race Team hit the track in Horsham Victoria to start there MX National campaign after months of preparation the team was keen to go race and see how things unfolded.

Kale Makeham made his move back to the MX2 class and first season in MX2 on a 250f. Kale improved each lap and it is clear that he will be a front runner throughout the year, although Kale finished 8th overall for the day and a little short of the top 5 result we were chasing to start off the series, the writing is now on the wall on what small things Kale and the team need to work on and we are confident of top 5 results in coming rounds and being right up the front in the championship hunt.

Lachie Davis made his debut in the MX2 class, Lachie rode great but will continue to improve and climb up the leader board in the very stacked MX2 class, Lachie now sits 19th overall in the championship and with the first race jitters out of his system we are keen to watch his climb to the front as he proves himself as a professional racer
throughout the 2016 season.

16 year old Hugh Mckay had his first under 19s outing in the MXD class Hugh rode smooth and solid all day but struggled to elevate for the event, Hugh did what he needed though putting in two solid rides, gaining experience and setting his sights on what it will take to be a front runner, in the class for 2016.

Hugh sits 10th overall but we know the gritty Tasmanian will be working hard to better that result at round 2 in Appin in two weeks time.

With two weeks now to prepare for the second round of the series the riders and team are looking forward to putting in the work to better ourselves in Appin.

Team Manager Travis Whitten said “We are happy with our bikes, the power is there and we are very close with our suspension settings it has been super easy to get all three rider comfortable on the Yamaha YZ250f, it seems all we need is some little fine tuning to move our riders further up the leader board and into championship contention”
