Dearly Beloved....

... we are gathered here today to remember a loved one who has been part of our hearts and dreams for years... the Top Fuel 100.... She has had a wonderful existance, bringing memories, smiles and enjoyment to the lives of all those who rode her.... Her smooth back end and graceful movements were appreciated during the long haul, and she has conquered many contests in many locations, easily becoming everyone's choice... and her performances will not be forgotten.

Smoothing out the bumps at Highlands Provincial Championships....

 Busting some air at the Trek Store Canada Cup at Hardwood Hills....

 She was invited to dinner in Ste. Feliciene to talk race strategies....

 Large or small rock obstacles become a thing of the past...

 I rode her to a pair of National Championships at Ste. Feliciene....

 She helped me show Geoff "K-Bomb" Kabush the fast lines.....

She joined me at the East Coast Open and graced the cover of Blue Mountain's Pamphlets....

 She became the subject of my Pro Card and tackled Tremblant's rocks, roots and hills many times...

 she stuck to the ground and provided plenty of traction for the famed "Son of a Pitch" ....

We have enjoyed the company of Olympian Emily Batty and Trek Canada's Adam Morka...

and taken me to 8 Provincial Championships in the last 10 years....

She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed..... and will live on in the legacy of the Fuel EX .....

But we must look past our saddness and our future love on the horizon .... and welcome with loving arms the arrival of the Trek Superfly 29'er... i'm sure i have enough love in my heart for both of them....
