Eddie, like I had posted in the results, your guys operations looked great!! and the craftmanship done on that boat is fantastic, sorry we couldnt see you run,however i am sure we will get a great show in phoenix!! I know you are going to San Diego but we will not be able to attend, so I must wait till Phoenix. I think the World finals in 2003 will be one to remember!!!! Good luck in San Diego and Best of luck to you and your entire team for 2004!! I know Todd will do a TERRIFIC JOB driving the boat, see you guys soon,

Thank's Bill,
We put a lot of time into the engineering of this girl,
I hope she won't let us down.
I to think Todd will do a great job of driving her.
I'm sure with a few laps and a little time he will have one hell of a fun ride.
See you in Phoenix.
E.K.

First I would like to say get well soon to Greg Gilday,the entire
Problem Child team wishes you a speedy recovery.
Congratulations is due to the BEAST and crew for a great year and
giving us a little lesson in top fuel with a well deserved win in the bay.
Charlie, Mike, Rescue and the promoters, along with the other top fuel drivers thanks for giving us a shot early Sunday to get Todd his license.
Jim Jack said it was the best RFC service he had ever done.
Just about the time he was finishing his morning message, a Top Fuel Hydro blasted by in the back ground. Pretty Cool huh?
Thanks to all of our team for a great job this weekend. As usual we
faced all kinds of weird $hit and the guy's overcame it with a smile. (well, sort of a smile)
A special thanks goes to Lary Bless for making all of this possible.
And the sponsors-- Red line Oil, Scott Owens, United Rentals, Curtis Kemp, The Blower Shop, Myers Fiberglass, Cal Coast Construction, Dan Chittenden,Gleason Signs.
Also- RBR, The Lumbarts, The Plumb Crazy team, The Beast team, Tim Stokes and anybody else that loaned or sold us parts in the nick of time.
Todd did a great job driving and we have high hopes for him and the
whole team. See y'all in Phoenix.
E.K.
P.S. we may have a little golf thing going on Wednesday or Thursday
if anyone is interested.

Congratulations to Todd and the whole PC III team.

I know you have to raise $$$ to run, but do you think this is going a little too far. How much for a ride?

Eddie-
Awesome job of getting your deal on the water and sorted out. Had Todd not clicked it off at 3/4 track, you very well may have won finals on Sunday...it looked like the thing took a great set and was really motoring. Can't wait to see what she'll do in Phoenix! See ya there.

Eddie glad to hear that everything went well in SD congrats to you and the whole crew for a job well done. Can't wait to see the Queen tearing up the water in PHX.
Great job by Todd to not only get his licence but make it to the Finals. Oh Eddie when you see Todd just ask him "How Bout Them Ducks" and say it came from me. Sparky

Hos,
You guy's were awesome as usual, thanks for sporting the diving gear so early in the A.M. Make sure you bring the gang over for some Carne
& Spirits at Firebird. A round of T-shirts to the best damn rescue dudes in all of boat racing.
Scotty B. great photo, when I told Todd I wanted to take a spin in the O'l gal he said we would need two capsules, looks like it's not that far fetched an idea.
Sparks, Todd was a little chapped over the "ducks" whooping on the
Wolverines.
Thanks to all for the support. See-ya soon,
Eddie Knox

AS a member of Eddie's Cruisers I would like to give Todd a great big pat on the back for one hell of a job this weekend. He rode the roller coaster of the highs and then the let downs a few times, but pulled through it with flying colors. I think that the big girl is going to be something to watch out for. (whenever we get our $hit together and quit having all the fire drills) She just might jump their and Hall A$$. So once again Todd, great job this past weekend and keep up the good work, or we just might have to talk to them Ducks and see if they can't straighten you out.

PS:
Also great job by the entire Cruiser Crew, You all know who you are so I shouln't have to list you by name. See you guys in 2 weeks

Thanks,
Dave

Well another race is under the bridge.
I would like to thank all of the cruisers and sponsors alike for a trying but fun weekend.
The O'l girl is on the brink of busting one off.
So far we have gone from submarine to wheel stander to submarine and wheel stander. We stepped on her big for the first round but killed the clutch in the process. It's my own fault for messing with that damn thing but we were trying to smooth out the launch thing.
Overall not a bad weekend though, we came home with two healthy bullets and a good attitude.
The crew did great for there first time together and I think we will keep getting better as we go.
Congrat's to all of the winners and we will see eveyone in Red Bluff.
p.s. don't forget about the Golf Tourney- 7:00 Friday at the Wilcox C.C. p/m for details.
E.K.

Eddie said back in 2004 "The O'l girl is on the brink of busting one off" referencing the retired Queen. Well this new girl is going to bust one off at the World Finals, with Eddie's talent and the T Rex at the helm the Problem Child team will be ready to trample over the completion for their first win in the new Centurion sponsored PC bullet!

Stay tune for more info and be ready to get onboard with Eddie and the Cruisers!!!

 

That would be good !

Hey Tod,

It will be, without much time on the water PC ran a 4.80 in Chowtown. SD was a thrash but 4 day in Phoenix will be a good time!!!

I am way down with that !!!!!! See ya there !

Good Luck Eddie and Rex! Take care and bring home the bacon mates!
