Ron Henderson had two years racing in Britain, starting and finishing his career with Newcastle Diamonds,[2] whom he helped to the National League Championship in 1976. The Diamonds were his chief team, but he was also given rides with Hull and Swindon, as guest rider to cover absences. Returning to Australia, his last race was at Tivoli in Queensland in 1984, riding in four heats and winning all four.
