Last year Kale Makeham stepped up to the Pro Open class aboard his Factory Suzuki, but stepped back down to the Lites class this year on his Proformance Yamaha after a less-than-successful year. A previous runner-up in the class, mixed results at Horsham put him further back than he had hoped, but it’s still early. Expect him to bounce back and battle for race wins. In front of him, privateer Tom Ravenhorst stood out in his bright Bolt gear. Tom’s efforts over the last few years haven’t gone unnoticed. If he can get a start, he has the speed to hang with the top runners.
