Rickard hopes to clinch Modified Bike championship before move to TF

Danny Rickard is looking to back-up his 2017/2018 Modified Bike title with a 18/19 Competition Bike championship at the April 6-7 ANDRA Grand Final in what would be the perfect close to his Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series career.

 

“We know we have the power to do it, we just have to get the hook-up right,” Rickard said.

 

While he may be feeling confident, Rickard and his crew still have plenty of work ahead of them before success on the track will be found next weekend.

 

“We will have a lot of work to do to the bike the day before we race, we have left it over there after the Westernationals where we had a lot of trouble getting traction and then it caught fire in the burnout box so that put me out of the final.”

 

The South Australian racer is preparing to make his debut in the Top Fuel Motorcycle bracket in the 19/20 racing season which begins Aug. 3-4 at Alice Springs Inland Dragway. (Automotive Event Images)  [03/27/19]
