Elma, NY – After a disappointing outing at the 25th Torco Race Fuels Northern Nationals held at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan, Mike Janis and his Eaton/Aeroquip sponsored team are looking to bounce back at the next IHRA eMax event in Norwalk, Ohio.
While not qualifying for an event is normally devestating to a team’s title hopes the Eaton team came out of the Northern Nationals no worse for wear. “If there is a way to be lucky when it comes to NOT qualifying I think we found it,” said Crew Chief Mike Janis Jr. “We entered this race around 6 rounds behind (point leader) Glenn Kerunsky and left the event in the same position. (Kerunsky also did not qualifying.) Couple that with the fact that nearly everyone around us in points either DNQ’d or went out early and that leaves the door wide open for us to bounce back”.
With two weeks off before the SKULL SHINE WORLD NATIONALS Presented by ACDELCO you can rest assured that Mike Janis and his entire team will rectify any glitches before heading off to Norwalk. “We have some time here to really see what caused our problems in Martin. I don’t think it was one thing, I think it was a combination of things including the pressure of the shootout. I think we’ll be able to bounce right back come Norwalk,” said Team Owner/Driver Mike Janis.
In other Mike Janis Racing news Mike and his Eaton sponsored Cobalt made their annual trek to the Woodward Dream Cruise Presented by Eaton. The Woodward Dream Cruise, in Detroit, Michigan, is the world’s largest one-day celebration of car culture, attracting more than 1 million visitors and more than 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles. At the cruise Janis and his team raised money for the local Make A Wish Foundation selling his trademark WidowMaker T-shirts with 100% of all sales going to the foundation.
Eaton News - Eaton Corporation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently showcased the first-ever hydraulic hybrid diesel urban delivery vehicle. The EPA's patented hydraulic hybrid diesel technology is achieving a 60 to 70 percent improvement in fuel economy and more than a 40 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in initial laboratory testing of a large UPS truck
EPA estimates that the technology has the potential to save more than1,000 gallons per year for each urban delivery vehicle. UPS will begin testing the vehicle this year on the road in the Detroit area and then will bring it to Cleveland for additional testing. The vehicle was developed through a partnership between EPA, Eaton, UPS, International Truck and Engine Corporation and the U.S. Army. EPA unveiled the truck in Washington, D.C. in late June.
"Eaton is proud to be working with the EPA and our industry partners in bringing this leading- edge technology to market," said Alexander M. Cutler, Eaton chairman and chief executive officer. "Innovative technologies such as the hydraulic hybrid truck represent Eaton's focus on energy management, market-leading products and environmental responsiveness."
In the series hydraulic hybrid truck, a high-efficiency diesel engine is combined with a unique hydraulic propulsion system to replace the conventional drivetrain and transmission. The vehicle uses hydraulic pump motors and hydraulic storage tanks to recover and store energy, similar to what is done with electric motors and batteries in hybrid electric vehicles. Vehicle fuel economy is increased in three ways: braking energy that normally is wasted is recovered and reused; the engine is operated more efficiently; and the engine can be shut off when not needed, such as when stopped or decelerating.
Eaton has been working with the EPA since October 2001 under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement involving hydraulic hybrid systems. As part of Eaton's role in designing and developing hybrid technologies, company engineers have been co-located at EPA's Ann Arbor, Mich. facility. Eaton is also working on a number of other hybrid vehicle initiatives with UPS, International Truck and Engine Corporation and others.
"Eaton sees the series hydraulic hybrid as a natural and exciting progression in the development of hydraulic hybrid systems," said Craig Arnold, Eaton senior vice president and president - Fluid Power. "Eaton is committed to developing next-generation hybrid technologies and to developing products that benefit our customers, communities and the environment."
Eaton is also partnering with EPA through the agency's Green Suppliers Network (GSN) program. Eaton has joined a group of large manufacturers committed to sharing both manufacturing techniques and environmental process improvements with its small- and medium-sized suppliers to make them more competitive and environmentally involved as partners in the program. Eaton plans to involve 20 suppliers from Ohio in the first phase of the program as GSN partners.
Eaton Corporation is a diversified industrial manufacturer with 2005 sales of $11.1 billion. Eaton is a global leader in electrical systems and components for power quality, distribution and control; fluid power systems and services for industrial, mobile and aircraft equipment; intelligent truck drivetrain systems for safety and fuel economy; and automotive engine air management systems, powertrain solutions and specialty controls for performance, fuel economy and safety.
