My wife Nicole gave me the push to keep on going, my kids Caitlin, Maddi and Zac (big chief) were always supportive, and I also need to recognise my Mum and my Dad – who was always ready to weld something back together for me – and also my long-time crew member Stan,” McGrotty said. “Most of all this season I have to say a big thank you to Paul Turner for lending me his engine so we could keep racing, and also Andrew at Supa Trik Differentials, Rob Cassar for bringing my fuel to the track and the boys at Northern Suburbs Radiators. Finally I would like to thank the Mildura and Portland tracks and their volunteers who make it possible for us to race, and also Summit Racing Equipment for their support of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.”
