King of the Ekka: Ron Johnson

  • Summary

  •  In this episode, I will be the first and only person who has created a podcast of Queensland’s Greatest Side-car Racer known as “King of the Ekka” and “Big Bad Johnno” – Ron Johnson. I will be also the first and only person to be writing a Biography Book about Ron speedway career and life story. I have a big blue book filled with original articles and photos since the 1950s, she’s defiantly a fragile book, that weighs 4kgs but is filled with greatness. Johnson was also known for being Australia’s biggest and tallest Speedway Rider during the 1950s till 1980s, they even referred to him as the “Godfather of Speedway” in the 1980’s after his 30 years of Racing and he retired from Speedway. I will also be talking about his childhood and life behind the speedway curtain. Also, the untold story of his life after Speedway after he vanished when he retired. I am writing a biography book about his 30 years in speedway. I will be publishing the book “King of the Ekka: Ron Johnson” in 2022, it will have photos of the races, motorbikes, hot rods, newspaper articles from the ’50s till the ’80s and more! So, keep up to date with my page to see when the release date will be.
