Golden Sands Speedway

Every track has their legends and along with those stories we get sad stories too.    The #99 car was driven by Dick Trickle and every Middle School boy would get a laugh out of the name but Mr. Trickle was the Richard Petty of the ASA and ARTGO series.

   After being the all-time winning driver with those series above,   Dick Trickle raced NASCAR and raced against some of the all time great drivers and on great tracks as Golden Sands Speedway and the Fairgrounds it is easy to make to make the connection between the races there and who we have seen and now see in NASCAR.

   Dick Trickle,  Tom Reffner,  Bob Sennecker, Rusty Wallace,  Mark Martin,  Mike Eddy, Ted Musgrave,  Gary St. Amant,  Butch Miller and the list goes on and on and on.    This coming May the track will run a memorial Late Model event for the late Dick Trickle.    Trickle was a big name at the track and committed suicide not too long ago.

   I remember seeing Trickle and the series called ASA and ARTGO and it was pretty good racing.   A smallish tight track it belied it’s comfy confines.   Below is a remembrance of Bob Senneker,  another great in the annals or Wisconsin racing.

   I highly recommend this track and the Super Late Model series and by  all means support your local tracks because you just might make a difference and find a new passion/Hobby.
