Page "Dick Trickle" Paragraph 16

Sanctioning bodies put in a weight-per-cubic-inch rule, and Trickle's career had problems in 1974 and 1975.

" Fords almost broke me.

I couldn't get any pieces for racing at my level.

It took two years of hard labor and depleting my funds to realize I couldn't do this anymore.

I told myself either I had to change my program or get out of racing.

" So Trickle decided to use a General Motors car and engine.

He bought a car for $ 13, 000 on his word that he would pay for it by September.

He won 35 or 40 races that year and paid for the car by July.
