| Rob McCarthy who used to mechanic for Mike Shirley and in fact still works with Mike at V W Hicks, and Mark Hodder. Both have been with Gary for a long time and were joined more recently by Wolston villager Jim Wallace who asked Gary if he could help out. Margaret, Gary's mum, is Team Manager and gives enormous support and encouragement to keep Gary on track. Their a great team, and they have got great faith in me, Gary said, when I phoned home to tell them I was Australian Open Champion. My mum's reaction was "You must be joking." The recant addition to the team is Nigel Swales, who helped build the current car with Andy Turner (488) and also has mechanic for a few other drivers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
