    TA/FC Rookie, Todd Robertson, Headed to the 58th Mac Tools U.S. Nationals

    Jody Wilson TAFC.jpg Harrison TWP. MI. … Todd Robertson is no stranger to running big races but, the U.S. Nationals is a whole lot bigger and more prestigious than any race Robertson has ever competed in. The 58th running of the MAC tools U.S. Nationals takes place August 29th thru September 3rd at the storied Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    “I’ve raced at the track before, I’ve attended the nationals before and I’ve helped out some friends who’ve run them before but, this is different,” said Robertson.

    “This is the race we all thought of when Todd decided to switch from Outlaw Pro Mod to his Motor City Machine NHRA Alky Funny Car It’s a drag racer thing it’s like Dyatona for the stock car guys but more,” said Car Chief, Rocco Wilson.

    “My first INDY experience was 1989. I was a huge Pro Stock fan but you couldn’t help but get caught up in the Alky Floppers then. Pat Austin was on a tear that year winning INDY and running his first five second pass. I’ll never forget it. For me to think that I will be on the line at the U.S. Nationals with a funny car is very surreal,” said Crew Chief, Dennis Kolomyjec.

    With INDY being the race that everyone wants to compete at the event schedule is lengthened form a Friday, Saturday, Sunday event to a Wednesday thru Monday event encapsulating the entire Labor Day Weekend. Qualifying for the sportsman categories begins Wednesday at 8:30 AM.
