[b FORESTHILL, CA (10-22-09) –] Nine year old Ryan Robinson of Foresthill, California is ready to roll for the 2010 Red Bluff Outlaws racing season. The exciting indoor series for outlaw kart racers of all ages begins this Saturday, October 24 at the Pauline Davis Pavilion located on the Tehama County Fairgrounds.
For Robinson, the weekend season opener is far from the first time the youngster will be the behind the wheel of a race car. Since he was just four years old, the second generation open wheel racer is already making a name for himself with two National titles under his belt. Ryan is following in the footsteps of his father, David “Powerfeed” Robinson Jr. Before stepping out of the driver’s seat to focus on Ryan’s dream, Robinson was a championship driver of karts, mini sprints, midgets and full sized sprint cars. David is best known for his multiple titles at Placerville Speedway and the Civil War Sprint Car Series, a level that young Ryan will undoubtedly reach in the coming years.
After claiming the Red Bluff Box Stock Rookie of the Year title and fourth place finish in the point standings season, Robinson is ready to race for another driving championship this season behind the wheel of his #11 Box Stock Outlaw Kart owned and wrenched by his supportive father and family.
Prior to his Rookie of the year title last season, Robinson has a long list of accolades to his name at such a young age. He has competed in three solid Red Bluff Outlaw season’s with a limited schedule during the summer months.
During his first “full”season in Red Bluff competition, Robinson earned the season Hard Charger Award in the Beginner Box Stock class during the 2005, 2006 racing season. That same year he proved he has the passion of winning in his genes when we became the 2005-06 West Coast National Champion. Robinson followed suit the following season to win back to back titles.
In addition to his second championship title, Robinson won the Red Bluff Yamaha Perpetual Trophy during the 2006-07 season. He advanced to the Box Stock division last season and drove his way to fourth in the point standings to claim the rookie title.
While maintaining straight A’s in grade school, Robinson is making the grade in open wheel racing as well. During his four years of racing he has claimed 23 A feature victories which is a 30 percent winning percentage when tallied with the number of events in which he has competed.
Saturday marks the opening of the 2010 Red Bluff Outlaw Racing Season that competes into the new year annually, rain or shine under the roof of the Pauline Davis Pavillion. Each event beings at 1 p.m. with practice that is followed by qualifying for each division. Main events begin weekly at approximately 6 p.m.
