DICKER DELIGHTED WITH TOP THREE RESULT IN QUEENSLAND TITLE

DICKER DELIGHTED WITH TOP THREE RESULT IN QUEENSLAND TITLE

Venturing to Lockyer Valley Speedway in Queensland for the SKAA Queensland titles for Speedway 

Karts Ricky Dicker has finally come away with a podium result in the KT100s Modifieds & he could 

not be more pleased after all the effort that has been put in to producing one the nations better 

looking Speedway Karts.

With a position two start in heat one Dicker had a great opportunity to start the day with a win, 

however after running up high Dicker went backwards a fair way before working his way up to 

fourth spot to finish, not the ideal result for a front row starting position, however some points 

where banked.

Starting from position seven in the second heat Dicker had the worst possible result when he ran out 

of tear offs & had to pull infield when he couldn’t see any further in front of him.

Heavy rain then interfered with the nights racing and the third and fourth heats were cancelled 

leaving an opportunity when the weather cleared to go straight into the title race.

Dicker started this race in seventh spot & quickly moved forward in the field to lead the race for a 

couple laps before slamming into fourth place who he was about to lap & possibly breaking some 

toes before racing the next ten laps of the fifteen lap title in pain & holding on to third place for the 

KT100s Modifieds behind Brendan Griffiths & Nev Britton.

Dicker who currently also sits in fifth placed in the Victorian Dirt Kart Series also & has another event 

coming up was stoked with the result of Queensland # 3. “I have had decent results here & there 

over the last few years & this season I have finally got to a level I have wanted to be at consistently, 

that’s to be one of the front running KT Modified drivers in Australia. Regardless of what Jamie & 

myself spend or don’t spend on this engine we run, I can’t thank Jamie (brother Jamie Dicker) 

enough for all his work & thoughts on what we can do with this engine.”

Dicker would like to also thank Jamie Dicker & Courtney Smith for housing his Kart, again Jamie & 

Danny Vassal at VRT for the GFR Chassis, Ricky & Bonnies Bed & Breakfast for the hospitality, Tommy 

& Graham Keats for the opportunity to travel with the guys around Australia & this time to the 

Gatton Showgrounds.

Also Dicker would like to thank Mark & Collette at PFH247 Performance Fittings & Hoses for the 

opportunity to be involved with their development of Kart parts, Dean at DMT Sports Media for the 

ongoing support that has now been at least three seasons, Zamp Racing Helmets for the most 

Awesome helmets a racer can get, Michael Bulliman Photography for his wonderful Photographs of 

my racing & JSR Signs & Graphics for making Dickers Kart the best presented Kart each season.
