About the Memorial
Plans, engineering, fund raising, and construction have been completed for the Memorial in honor of racing legend Dick Trickle. The Memorial has been constructed in the Village Park in Rudolph, Wisconsin where Dick grew up and began his illustrious racing career from very humble beginnings. The Directors, Volunteer Representatives, and Volunteer Construction Workers were very busy since may 2014 raising funds and building the Memorial over the past ten plus years . For the most part fund raising campaign has mainly been grass roots donations from friends, fans, competitors, family, and other supporters of Dick.
The highlights of the Memorial are a larger than life size bronze statue of Dick waving to a crowd like he so often did. Behind the statue of Dick are two semi circular walls. The wall immediately behind Dick is configured with various sized inscriptions in black granite with the names and words of donors. The size of the inscription area was deteermined by the amount of the donation. PLEASE NOTE THE GRANITE INSCRIPTION WALL IS COMPLETELY FILLED THUS THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL GRANITE INSCRIPTIONS SOLD OR PRODUCED. The second semi circular wall displays pictures with words of dedication of the donor of some of the 200 plus race cars Dick drove throughout his illustrious career. These pictures are also sponsored by donors and the size of each given picture will also be determined by the donation.
The mission and purpose of this Memorial is to educate and exemplify how one man overcame a serious childhood injury, set very high goals and achieved them by dedicating his life to competing in and succeeding in the world of stock car racing.
