We race
what we sell! |
Our personal racing
experiences fueled the growth of Eaton Enterprises. We took a lot of
pride in researching and building our own engines, and soon drivers and
their teams were coming to us to perform work for them as well. It
wasn’t long before our in-house operation evolved into a full-fledged
customer service business.
Each member of the management team at Eaton
Enterprises brings a variety of technical and personal racing expertise to
our operation. Please allow us to introduce a few of our key people
who are waiting to serve you at our state-of-the-art production facility.
Craig Eaton, President of
Eaton Enterprises, grew up in a racing family. His father Dale began
his drag racing career on the East Coast in the early 1960’s, and as a
result Craig has spent a large portion of his life around racetracks and
racecars.

named the 1996 Division 7 Driver of the Year. In 1998 Craig began
racing Pro Stock trucks, and his Mopar-sponsored team won two national
events.

Rick Watters, Chief
Engine Builder and Crew Chief of the team's Dodge Neon, has been involved in
the racing industry for over 25 years. After his career began by
