Karting is a family affair for Dorigos

24/07/2015

Andrew Rogers

AIDAN Dorigo is among the rising stars of the Swan Hill Kart Club.

Dorigo has been racing for just over a year and joins his brother Cade out on the track at Chisholm Reserve for races on club days and bigger meets.

It’s a family affair for the Dorigos, with dad Joe and mum Pauline also involved in scrutineering, pit work and officiating on the club days.

“I recommend it to anyone interested in racing — give karting a go as you can travel all around the state to race,” Joe Dorigo said.

“Ask any of the club members on how to get involved in this exhilarating sport.”

Anyone interested in getting involved in karting can get a taste of the action at Sunday’s club day from 10.30am, with canteen available.
