Atchison Racing and Eaton Aeroquip stay connected for 2006

London, Ontario January,17, 2006 “3 Straight” IHRA Funny Car Champion Rob Atchison is pleased to announce the return of Eaton/Aeroquip Performance Hose as product sponsor to Atchison Racing for 2006. “ Eaton/Aeroquip StartLite Hose and Fittings are simply the best available on the market” stated Atchison. Champions choose Aeroquip because you don’t want to be worrying about fluid leaks when they should be concentrating on winning. When a faulty hose can cost you major damage to a very expensive race motor and a poor race finish it is no fluke that other IHRA Champions like Clay Millican and Mike Janis choose Aeroquip Performance Products. It really doesn’t make any sense to run anything but the best and that is why we chose Aeroquip Performance Hose before we were part of their team.

“ My crew loves the StartLite Hose because they don’t have to get cut or nicked every time they work in close to the hoses that happens with stainless steel braided lines. The crimped ends eliminate leaks and the black hose and red anodized fittings make our engine compartment look neat and professional. A real bonus in addition to the good looks is the light weight and superior strength of the StartLite Hoses that makes them more appealing to all types of racing.

“We are very proud of our long history with Rob and Atchison Racing. Working with Rob’s team is a real privilege and we can’t wait for the start of another exiting year in 2006.” stated Eaton Aeroquip’s Michael Manos. StartLite is the perfect hose for the severe requirements it sees on Rob’s car. It’s the result of many years of development and what we’ve learned from the wide range of applications our hose products experience. Its exceptional performance, ease of installation & routing, and lightweight advantages make it a favorite among many professional racers. StartLite really answers the challenges that this level of competition throws at it.

Many winning teams in NASCAR, IRL, CHAMP CAR, WOO, NHRA and IHRA and many forms of racing depend on Aeroquip Performance to get the job done.
