When the name Greg Foster comes to mind, I think of the "MAD MAN ACROSS THE WATER" as they called him in the PROP TOUR days.

I've known Greg since he started racing 72 hydros (T Class in Inboard) E-Runabout (V-Drive), Outboard Ski Racing, Mod VP Racer, 120 Tunnel Racing, Formula One driver. (Probably only 30 years). Greg has settled in the last few years racing Offroad.

This year, his long time friend Joe Brain started racing 45 and so did his partner Pat Michaels (Las Vegas) started also. Greg went to Long Beach and helped these guys for two days. When he got home he had the 45 BUG!!!!

Now, keep in mind, Greg has a Laser V bottom, a Hallett Ski Race boat, a 40 foot Magic, he's trying to buy his old LTV from me, and he owns Hill Marine/Pat Bowman's Laser....Not to mention some other boats along the way like a Rayson Craft, a 30 foot Spectra......It was clear to me, what Greg needed was another TOY! (I didn't mention a garage full of Offroad Racing cars).

AND NOW, he has it, he has our RED GRAN PRIX.....Some how, I think this boat will end up yellow and blue and say CRANE RENTAL on the side!!!

2010 will tell how much talent this 49 year old "Madman Arcoss the Water" really has!!!!

OF COURSE, I've promised Greg our support........whatever that is worth!

Welcome Greg, BOAT RACING was always better when you came to PLAY and it will be better with you here again!!!!

Welcome for sure......Now, my next goal is getting your son in some kind of a boat!!!!

Lars, if you are still considering a Prop Tour Formula One TEAM, Greg will drive for you, HE KNOWS MERCURY MOTORS but could get use to OMC's pretty fast.
