CONGRATULATIONS to the #1 Top Fuel Hydro Drag Boat Racing team in the world... "Problem Child" Top Fuel Hydro and "Fast Eddie Knox" on winning their third consecutive championship and fourth overall in Top Fuel! This team has recorded the quickest & fastest liquid quarter-mile and 1,000' passes in history, including breaking their own records! The third qualifying round in the new boat ended in a horrible accident that totaled the boat on Saturday, but left the Driver: Madd Maxx ( Daryl Ehrlich) uninjured. Daryl was anxious to get back out and race. After a discussion between Eddie and Daryl, it was decided they would rebuild the first boat and race on Sunday. Madd Maxx's first pass on Sunday was a 3.43 @ 260 mph! NRI is proud to sponsor the #1 Top Fuel Hydro Drag Boat!!!
