Robertson's Eaton TAFC Headed to Matco Summer Showdown at Cordova

Harrison TWP. MI. … In their last outing at the Division three event in Jolliet, Ill. the Eaton TA/FC team of Todd Robertson was able to crack the tough eight car field but went out early to former TAD World Champion Jay Payne in round one.

“Jay Payne is an impressive racer. He’s won a ton of races in the Top Alcohol ranks. We knew we were a long shot against him but, we gave it our best shot. We’ve got no excuses and we don’t need any. We are on a steep learning curve and we keep inching our way up each time out,” said Crew Chief, Dennis Kolomyjec.
