"I just saw, on the news, that Dick Trickle killed himself. I hope Rita will remember, it's one of my few youthful recollections. She and I went to the dirt speedway in Onalaska in the 1960's to see Dick Trickle race. He could not have been much more than a teenager.
He became a racing legend, more for his name and wild personality than for his record. He didn't win many races. Even Jon Steward once mentioned him to get a laugh off of that unforgettable name."
