Freddie Dixon

Frederick William Dixon (21 April 1892 – 4 November 1956[1]) was an English motorcycle racer and racing car driver.

After leaving school at the age of thirteen he was employed in a cycle shop but soon moved on to work in a local garage.

His first Isle of Man TT race was in 1912 on a "Cleveland Precision" motorcycle but the machine was not up to the challenge.

During World War I Dixon spent four years in the Army Service Corps and finished with the rank of staff sergeant.

In 1936 he won the Brooklands 500 mile race and with Charles Dodson the RAC Tourist Trophy at Ards, for the second time.
