The Doidge Racing Team Family
The Doidge Racing Team was established in 1957 by Tom Doidge. The race team began with his oldest son,
Chuck, racing in Quarter-Midget Race cars. Tom later started racing speedboats in 1961 in the Pacific-One Design Hydroplane
class. Tom's sons (Chuck and Danny) continued the racing tradition by racing in the 225-hydroplane class. Danny's racing
progressed into the 5-litre hydroplane class, the 6-litre class and currently the Crackerbox class. Keeping the family racing
tradition unbroken, one of Tom's grandsons, Kenny Knudson, successfully competed in hydroplane racing and is now the Rider
in Gramp's Cracker. Kenny also races his Doidge designed Endurance Tunnel boat, ET-96, The Family Affair. Filling in as
Riders, when Kenny can be pulled out of the seat, are Danny’s son and daughter, David and Jennifer.
The success of the Doidge Racing Team is attributable to the dedication
of the Crew. Many of the Crew members have supported the Team for several years. As is the case with most team motorsports,
the Doidge Racing Team Crew works tirelessly behind the scene, allowing Danny & Kenny to do their jobs on the water.
We are missing a few members of our Crew because the Maska family moved to Nebraska.
Good luck Steven, Dianne, Tommy & Timmy. See you soon!
Special thanks go out to all of our Crew.
