I've know Dick for about 50 years, with his recent passing I got to thinking of my Y-Block roots, when everyone else was running tri five scrubs in the late 50s, early 60s, he was running a 56 Ford, then 57 and then the 58 and on up. I can still hear those pipes on the 58 down the back straightaway in Wisconsin Rapids, he won a lot with those early Fords. By 62 I had a 55 Vickey, sounded bad, but not as bad as his. RIP Richard.

If you look up the term RACER in the dictionary,there should be a picture of Dick Trickle.I had the opportunity to race against him a few times years ago,and it was an honor to be passed by him.He was the best!!!!!!!
