Robertson “Steering” Eaton Backed TA/FC to Chi-Town for NHRA Lucas Oil “Burndown at Sundown”
Harrison TWP. MI – After a less than successful outing at the Division 3 season opener in April; Todd Robertson and his Eaton Top 
Alcohol Funny Car team feel they are headed in the right direction as they travel to Joliet, Illinois’ Route 66 Raceway for this weekend’s NHRA Sportsman event, the “Burndown at Sundown” presented by Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning and Plumbing.
“Each time we go out we learn more about running a Funny Car,” said Robertson. “I’ve had issues with steering since my first time in the car but, with no real comparison in my driving history I just thought it was me. Come to find out it was more the car than me. This car was built for someone else originally. It was fitted to him. I fit into the car different than him. So, the leverage I have when trying to turn the car is less than what he had. After the last race we removed and rebuilt the steering on the car and made it easier for me to control the car. That was probably our biggest issue and it should show instant results,” added team owner/driver Todd Robertson.
