Askew worked as a mechanic for a short time in 1980, upon return to Australia from UK. Between 1981 and 1993, he worked as a sales rep selling motorcycle spares and accessories. From 1993 till 1994, Askew managed Fraser Motorcycles workshop, which is a company which imported Harley Davidson motorcycles to Australia. Askew operated his own bike shop between 1994 and 2000, then restored motorcycles until 2004. He has owned and run Southern Highlands Mower Centre since 2004.
After he stopped racing in the UK, Askew rode for another couple of years in Australia. Ivan Mauger asked Carl if he would like to ride in some of his Long Track meetings; he rode one of his George Wenn engined two valvers for a few years, winning his first race after 13 years of retirement. After he stopped riding the classic LongTrack, Askew rode a Drag Bike, 1428cc Nitros injected Suzuki. The fastest speed he ever hit was 7.9 sec at 180 mph over a ¼ mile stretch.
