Harrison TWP. MI. … After Todd
Robertson’s first round loss at last week’s divisional event in Cordova,
Illinois, Robertson made the decision to stay “in the area” to repair some hurt
parts and take the time to re-group.
“We torched a head in the first round of
qualifying and hurt some other stuff but, we were able to get her together and
qualify for the event. We went out in round one but, I couldn’t have been
prouder of my guys. We worked real hard to get her back together and made the
next run. For us it was real cool when we got a thumbs up before we fired it in
the pits from Frank Manzo. He was pitted across from us. Just to be recognized
by one of your heroes is really cool. My entire team is fans of the sport and
we get it; we know we’re running with the big fish now and we’re still guppies
but any recognition from a guy like that is really cool.”
Robertson opted to head to Darren
Mayer’s DMPE facility in Stevensville, Michigan to make the needed repairs and
then trailer to Larry Snyder’s shop in Indiana. After the trip to Snyder’s it
was off to Strange Engineering in Morton Grove, Illinois before finishing up
and heading to Joliet.
“I consider myself lucky to call Darren
(Mayer) a friend and for him to offer the use of his shop was just fantastic. Also,
being able to tap into the knowledge of Mr. Snyder has been a big bonus for our
team. I have to thank both those guys for all their help as well as the great
people at Strange,” said Robertson.
“Hopefully, all of the hard work pays
off in Chi-Town,” added Robertson.
