Booher Kicks Off 2015 Season with Indy Regional Runner-Up Finish
BROWNSBURG, IN – A long offseason of hard work was met with reward last Sunday as Top Alcohol Dragster 
driver Brandon Booher raced to his sixth NHRA regional event final round and first money round since winning Norwalk last year. Racing at the Spring Spectacle of Speed NHRA North Central Region event at Lucas Oil Raceway, Booher fought his way past two of the top blown alcohol cars in the country before falling to one of the class’s rising stars in the final round.
The weekend started positively when a test pass on Thursday yielded a 5.361/265 mph time slip. Drama started in qualifying, though, beginning with a broken blower belt on Friday’s run. A torque-converter seal broke on Saturday’s first pass, then the top blower pulley broke during the final session. Making matters worse, the team later found out that a brake rotor came off during the burnout. Booher and team worked through the night to secure parts, ultimately finishing repairs on Sunday morning after a quick nap.
Robertson grabs the “Wally” at Indy
After a long harsh Michigan winter, Todd Robertson and his ProPower Motorsports team were able to blow out the 
cob webs and win their first NHRA regional meet on a blissful sunny day at Indianapolis. “I couldn’t think of a better way to shake off the winter blues than a win during the Spectacle of Speed here at Lucas Oil Raceway Park” chuckled long time crew man Ed Youness.
In the first qualifying round of Top Alcohol Funny Car, the Eaton sponsored team ran a 5.65 @255. This landed them in the number 3 qualifying position, which they were able to maintain after two additional qualifying sessions “we looked at the data from our runner-up pass at the US nationals last year, and the conditions and track where similar so we went with it! And it paid off” said team Engineer Jeff Sawruk.
