I saw him race a time or two @ Slinger in the 70's.

My Mom and stepdad were friends with Mike Randerson and his family in the mid 70's. Mike owned (owns?) Rander Car racing. He did the cars for "our" guy Roger Regeth:
We went to KK in Kaukauna most Thursday nights for several summers to watch him race. Always hated to see Trickle and/or Kulwicki show up, as they were very likely to give Roger a run for his money.
RIP.

Didn't know he ever raced Slinger...
RIP Dick

I grew up in Whiskey Rapids... My friend lived across the street from him, we used to get in tussles with his kids all the time.
I remember watching him at Golden Sands Speedway and down at the one by the 'Dells back when I was a kid.
It's a sad story. RIP Dick. Best sports name ever.

Watched Dick, Marzofka, Refner, Bach, all those ramrods back when they were kids racing at ridges or downtown Vesper or Rudolph. The only guy I hold at Trickles level is Bob Uecker. We lost a fine man this week.
So you have a feel for how deep he was rooted, his Dad ran a blacksmith shop in Rudolph. Dick used a lot of spare scrap steel to build his cars early. Bootstrap guy that did things his way to the end.
