In 2012, former Pro Modified and Pro Extreme competitor Todd Robertson will make his NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car debut driving a brand new Chevrolet Monte Carlo-bodied flopper, carrying the Eaton Corporation and Aeroquip colors. Robertson’s new mount, with a chassis built by Brad Hadman and paint work applied by Dan Carpenter and 21st Century Collision, will feature a number of Eaton products, including Aeroquip hose and fittings for fuel and brake lines and Synthflex tubing and fittings for fuel management. It will also sport toggle switches from Eaton for the electronic control and data acquisition system.

“Eaton is excited to support Todd in the sportsman-class ranks, which uses more Eaton products than any other segment of drag racing,” said Eaton’s Mike Rasnick, sales manager—Aeroquip Performance Products. “Pro Power Motorsports will place Eaton products front and center among our most loyal repeat customers.”

Robertson and the Pro Power Motorsports team, based out of Harrison Township, Michigan, are scheduled to unveil the brand new Eaton Corporation Top Alcohol Funny Car at the Detroit Auotrama, Feb. 24-26 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan.

“The Detroit area is all about hot rods, muscle cars, horsepower and some of the biggest names in motorsports, and it’s where I caught the motor-head bug growing up,” said Robertson, who earned his first series championship in 2010. “That’s why the Autorama is the perfect place to debut our Eaton-sponsored leap into the NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car ranks.”
