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. In 1961 Tom started racing speedboats 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 Rider, when Kenny can be pulled out of the seat, are Danny’s son David, currently serving as a Naval Recruiter, and daughter Jennifer, currently a Captain flying for Great Lakes Airlines.

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 and for some, several decades! 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.
Special recognition to our sponsors: Special thanks to Bob Patterson for his expert advice and consultations during the building of Gramp's Cracker.
