Proformance Racing press release:

After a series of results which weren’t where the team want to be, Proformance had a successful weekend of racing at Conondale. The muddy,rutted conditions seem to suit Proformance riders and
with Kale and Lachie from Victoria and Hugh from Tasmania relishing in the tough stuff. Meanwhile, the Proformance YZF’s were looking immaculate with their retro sticker kits.

MX2 Race 1 started off positively for both Lachie and Kale. After the first corner Kale proved his starting practise conducted all week had really paid off, as he held down second place.

Further back Lachie had also had a great start, and was where he wanted to be. Kale managed to hold 2nd position until very close to the end, where he finished in the top 5.

A finish of 13th in moto 1 for Lachie Davis was enough to make him smile, remembering this is his first year of National racing against experienced foe.

MXD rider Hugh Mckay had never raced at Conondale but he is very comfortable in difficult tracks. While the other boys were able to nail their starts, Hugh was about as far back as possible after the first corner. Not to be deterred, he put his head down and pulled back around 15 places, making it one of the best riders he has had all year.

In the second MX2 race, Kale again got a good start, placing him at the top 5 after the first lap. He rode consistently strong but put the bike down on the second last lap when attempting a pass.

These chances are generally worth taking but this time luck wasn’t on his side as he finished 8th in race 2 resulting in a solid 5th for the day. Lachie had a bit less luck finishing up 18th for the day, which is still a solid result in a stacked field.

In MXD, Hugh finished the day in 8th overall thanks to 2 very consistent finishes. He is racing with more confidence than the first half of the season and is putting together some great rides now.

Meanwhile Kale is starting to show his true potential, while he sees himself on the podium, he knows riding after injuries can slow progress a little, he’s excited about the remaining rounds.
