Marty Craggill - Part 1
Listen now
Description
The gripping story of a battling privateer who backed himself, rolled the dice and took out a big loan to go racing and garnered the attention of some of legendary motorcycle racers. Marty Craggill’s family originally encouraged him to take up cycling, but a trip to watch a major motor racing event changed everything. He was hooked! This chat flows through how he went from driving a van round the country chasing what seemed like an impossible dream, to breaking into the Australian Superbike Championship and getting Grand Prix wildcard opportunities.... before a crash nearly ended it all.  Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know what you want to hear about in future Rusty's Garage episodes.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
