Folks Of Interest Old Time racer Dick Trickle passes

Two of my favorite drivers, **** Trickle and Buckshot Jones. With names like that you had to love them. Vaya con Dios Mr. Trickle. Smoke'em if ya got em.

 

i saw him race at cayuga ,ont in the early eighties ,real tough racer, really good guy and funny as hell ! also saw him race the Stavola bros car in winston cup, he was alway's the guy in charge in a good way sorry to hear he's gone ,but wtf **** was still in charge of himself he was HAMB friendly racer from way back , condolences to his family ,**** went for last victory lap

 

All of the years I contracted work for Howe Racing you couldn't help but hear about **** Trickle. When Junior Hanley started racing a Howe Ch***is we went to a few races to watch Junior and a couple of times **** showed up. He didn't win on those occasions with all of the American talent present but he was more compe***ive than you might have thought. I never noticed a lighter in his car but he constantly had a cigarette lit. Sorry to hear of his p***ing this way, it must have made sense to him but those left behind will always wonder, why?

Yes I agree with the "what gets locked down and what doesn't" comments also. Which brings me to the point of weather this topic is traditional or not. **** Trickle was one of the earlier drivers in NASCAR'S early days. My grandfather raced against him in the mid to late 50's in WI and IL. My grandfather raced a '38 Ford tudor for a guy out of South Wayne, WI. He said that **** was a hell of a driver. If that isn't traditional, I don't know what is. R.I.P. ****.

 

Wait... someone else but me has gotten their thread locked down??? I'll get to the bottom of this....

I remember when Trickle hit the tractor tires at the entrance of pit road at Dover Downs ...that was some noise ..Stavola Brothers Buick 1989

 

i miss him already. grew up watching him in the 99 car, and yes there was a cigarette lighter installed in dash for those caution flags, he was there to race. alot of track records broken by him on a regular basis. he will be missed! catch you at the next race ****, r.i.p.

 

god speed ****

 

R.I.P **** Trickle
