Rusty's Garage

Craig Dack - Part 1


Listen Later

Four-time Mr. Motocross title winner Craig Dack was recently inducted into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame, prompting Rusty to realise that a chat with ‘Dacka’ was long overdue. The result is an awesome episode, not just for Supercross and Motocross fans.

From watching the legendary Stephen Gall (who is coming on the pod in the next few months) at Amaroo Park and trying to do monos like him on his BMX bike, to cutting laps on his first motorbike around the backyard on Christmas Day, there was no turning back from that moment.

We reminisce about the catchphrase “Dack Attack” and the journalist who started it, how surreal it felt to race at famous venues in the United States, and how his success extended beyond bike racing. There was the time his physio shut down a plan to go riding with an AFL superstar, and how the Supercross Masters promoter was worried his headline act was injured in an aerobics TV show promo gone wrong.

We also discuss a little-known plan by one of the greats of Australian Touring Car Racing that very nearly saw Craig switch to four wheels.
