Has he ever won a race?
- Not on Wacky Races; IIRC, he won at least one race on the short-lived "Wake, Rattle and Roll"'s Fender Bender 500 shorts of the early 1990s... Anthony Dean 03:43, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
IIRC he would've won twice in Wacky Races. The first time, he stopped right before the finish line and gave an autograph to Muttley, the second time they had a photo finish and Dastarly stopped at the finish line to pose for the photo.
There were also many times where he was ahead of everyone else, only to stop to set up a trap in order to secure his lead. Naturally, this only made him lose it. Sinistro 23:11, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
He almost won once but the Judges looked at a slow motion replay of the finish and found out he extended the front of his car to make everyone think he'd crossed the finish line first. He got disqualified and the win went to Penelope Pitstop. Gerkinman TNG 19:49, 15th May 2006
- He should have won that time. The other characters do that sort of thing every episode. I'll wager Pat Pending did.
[edit] Dredd Baron
Why was Dredd Baron in Laff-a-lympics instead of Dick?
[edit] When?
1920s?? 1980s???? Some other time???? The article doesn't seem to say. Michael Hardy 23:21, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Professor Fate and Dick Dasterly
- Why Dick Dasterly will never win:
- Remember Professor Fate in The Great Race? He refuses to accept the trophy on the grounds that if he can't cheat,he'll never accept first place. Since Dick Dasterly is based on Professor Fate and Dasterly always cheats to try to win, it logically follows that the only way Dasterly will ever win is by cheating and will never accept first place if he has to do it by playing fair and square!!
- As for the "Dred Baron" and Mumbly-its just Dick Dasterly and Muttley under an alias-remember they play villians role most of the time!!
