Drag Racing — 23 March 2011


Stefani Robinson has been around drag racing since she was only 4 months old, Bornin the January she attended her first race in April and since then has been regularly attending drag racing meetings in the UK and across Europe. Daughter of successful British Pro Mod drag racer Andy Robinson Stefani has watched her Dad race doorslammers all her life.‘

As I have got older I’ve have had more interest in helping out with the car and enjoy crewing on my Dads Pro mod 53’ Studebaker, it’s a family thing with us andspending time at the track and working together is a great hobby’Andy Robinson who builds racecars for a living (Robinson Race Cars based in Basingstoke, England) is currently the 2010 British Pro Mod champion and is consistently a top runner in the very competitive FIA European Pro ModChampionship.

‘Seeing my Dad race all these years makes me feel so proud, not just of him but mywhole family as we do this together, being able to race as well with the support of them would be a dream come true so I decided to start the ball rolling on getting some experience driving – I don’t have a car myself and the Pro Mod is not a suitable car to jump into without experience so attending Frank Hawley’s school was a great way toget on to the track.

’Stefani jumped into the car and after two days she had clocked a personal best of 9.24at 146mph in the Super Gas Firebird and successfully completed enough runs to gain an NHRA License.

‘Currently I don’t have any fixed plans to race as I do not have the budget to own myown car, but I will be looking for sponsorship and seeking any possibilities to try and fund a car for the future. For the mean time Andy Robinson will continue to run inPro Modified with his 53 Studebaker in 2011, participating in both the MSA Britishand FIA European Pro Mod Championship – Visit the teams website www.robinson-race-reports.co.uk and blog http://robinsonracing.tumblr.com to be updated with what’s going on in the Robinson Pits.
