A short, burly and genial Middlesbrough native, Dixon made a name for himself in the world of car racing in the early 20th century. In 1932, he led the Tourist Trophy Race for four hours before unfortunately crashing. However, this setback did not deter him from achieving greatness on the track. Dixon went on to win prestigious races such as Mannin Beg in 1933 and Brooklands 500 miles in 1934. The year 1935 proved to be particularly successful for him as he clinched victory at the Ulster Tourist Trophy and Empire Trophy races.
