DP Karts Drivers were filling the podium at this weekends Open Meeting in Swan Hill. State Title holder Jake Dixon continued his fantastic 2010, with another dominating display in the Rookie class. New DP Karts Recruit Jarrod Dwyer in his first race for the Team was second in the Rookies class, constantly quicker than the rest of the field. Nickolas Reissis was also on the podium with a 3rd in Junior National Light. Nickolas was very quick in both the Junior National light and heavy but a DNF in Heavy cost him a podium in both classes. It was the first time Nickolas had driven in the Heavy class and from his performance it wont be the last. Congratulations to all the DP Karts Customers who competed in Swan Hill and we can now look forward to this weekends racing in Rochester.
