I became involved with rallying by crewing for my brother, Nick Robinson (also a THR driver), during college. After finishing college, I secured a job at Honda Research Americas.
Currently my co-driver, Jim Newton, and I are running a 1997 Honda Civic 3-door which competes in the G2 class. The car was prepared in house (THR) and all engine work/modification has been effected by Jim Newton and myself. Currently we have a B18 GSR motor with no modifications.
Our sponsors include Honda Motor Company, Bender’s Race Cars, Hella Inc., Red Line Oil Inc., Transportation Research Center, Suquehanna Motorsports, Snap-On Tools, Jackson Racing and AEM.
I graduated from Grove City College in Pennsylvania in May of 2000 and am currently employed by Honda Research Americas, Inc. as an engine device test engineer. I am 22 years old and not married. My hobbies include automotive restoration/engine building, mountiain/road biking and camping.
