Dimmock Racing Team
The Dimmock Racing Team consists of father and manager Peter Dimmock and his twin boys and team riders James and Andrew Dimmock.
Motorsport runs in the Dimmock family, with Peter having extensive rallying experience during the 1980s and 1990s and his grandfather racing on the speedway at Maitland during the 1930s.
James and Andrew started riding Pee Wees for fun at the age of 4 and fell in love with the sport. What better way to pursue this passion than to form the Dimmock Racing Team?
The Team travels regularly to dirt track and speedway meetings throughout New South Wales and Victoria. James and Andrew race 2 and 4 stroke classes and James also rides a speedway bike. Peter manages the team and acts as the pit crew.
