Peter Krikke (brother of Ron & John) formed Krikke Motorsport in 1980
in Bunbury, Western Australia. He bought their first car from Bob Trossle,
who was touring from the United States. Gary Rush first drove the car,
before John Fenton and John Krikke.

Shane Krikke (Peter's son) took over from John Krikke, until he was forced
into early retirement in 1998. American Donny Schatz next drove for the
Krikke MotorSport Team on a tour from the United States in 1999.
The Krikke family, one of the most well-regarded and famous families
in Australian Speedway was devastated by the loss of Ron's son Darryl
and John's son Jason, who were tragically killed in a road accident in
the late 1990's. There was a race at Bunbury the week of their funeral,
which was declared a Memorial to "The Boys", and to keep the memory
of them alive, Ron and John Krikke began running the now-famous
"Krikke Boys Shootout", held at Bunbury City Raceway every March.
