Proformance Racing Team press release:

The team was eager to get things underway at Appin as everyone was set to improving from Horsham. Kale had a quiet confidence in his step the morning of the Appin race and proved he will be in the hunt for the championship in 2016.

Kale had a great day qualifying 3rd, the only hiccup in his day was a crash in Moto 1 while moving forward early in the race. Kale remounted and started his charge, kale got back to 6th in the moto. The writing was on the wall though as Kale set the fastest lap time of the race and then knew he had what it takes to claim a moto win.

Moto 2 Kale rocket out of the gate and got the start he needed to take the race win which gave Kale 2nd overall for the day and he now sits 5th in the Championship. This was a massive achievement for Kale and the team as we all work towards our goals; there certainly were some emotions shown around the camp from the great result.

Unfortunately the great news also comes with some bad news as Lachie Davis went down from contact with another ride in the first race and hurt his elbow, Lachie is being treated for the injury and we will know later this week the outcome and extent of the injury. Hugh Mckay had an interesting day, the team was happy with his riding but unfortunately that dint flow into a result with crashes and poor starts hurting his day. The team feel Hugh rode better than Horsham but the cards didn’t fall to well for Hugh.

Kale was pumped with his victory in moto 2 and the overall result. Kale has had success in the class before but to do it on a 4 stroke after being labelled a 2 stoke rider for a few years and with the depth of the class was a great accomplishment.

Team manger Travis Whitten commented “ This is great for kale as he pushes through with his career and towards his goals but it was also such an emotional victory for the team as it was the first time the team had been on the podium in the MX2 class.

This is the second year of racing the MX Nationals professionally and to have Kale on the podium and a race win 2nd round into our second year is a great achievement and great reward for the team and all the effort that has gone into this. The team now sets its sights on Rd3 in Broadford Victoria in 2 weeks time.
