Jim Robinson was a club-level racer competing in NASA's multiclass championship between 2007 and 2011, driving spec BMW E30s and Mazda Miatas for BMW. Across four seasons he made 37 starts, took two wins and seven podiums, and finished 92nd in the championship standings in his final year.[1]
Robinson raced regularly against developing-level drivers Laura Patton and Robert Patton, both of whom he matched closely over multiple meetings. He also finished ahead of entry-level professionals Michael Skeen four times and Rob Summers once, though these were occasional results rather than a pattern of outpacing stronger competition. His record in a multiclass field that mixed amateurs with graded professionals placed him solidly among the amateur contingent.[2]
