I would like to thank Leo Wright for the custom trailers he built for my brother and me. I am very proud to call Leo a close friend. He has given me many opportunities to experience Jet boat racing all over the world. He has taught me many great values about life and racing.
I would also like to thank Tim Harding for all his knowledge, help, and use of his facilities. Tim keeps everybody running and competitive from the hydros to jet boats. I would like to thank Gold Beach Lumber Yard and the Ringer family for all their support. I am thankful for the Port Orford cedar provided by Ron Hanks used in building my hydro.
Bean Moore was a key player in my success for the 06 season by staying up late and making some last minute changes the night before Boatnik. I would also like to thank Chris and Leah Worthington for always giving us a shop for our boats and a place to stay. A special thanks goes out to my family and girlfriend, thank you for all your support I really appreciate it.
A distinctive thanks is deserved for my dad, Hugh McGinnis for all his knowledge, tools and the use of his shop for fabricating the 44 boat. I like to thank my brother Brandon for his great photography shots of the all racers, and also my brother Tyler for all his help. He is going to be the boat to beat in 2007!!!
