Factory Formula's AA Pro "dR" Donny Robinson hit up the second stop on the ABA's 2006 pro tour, the Gator Nationals in Oldsmar, Florida, looking to capitalize on the consistency that earned him the ABA's National #3 AA Pro and Pro Cruiser spots in 2005. Donny's Formula Solution Pro and Solution Pro Cruiser were totally dialed-in after his Formula debut two weeks ago at the ABA's Silver Dollar Nationals in Reno, Nevada and he was ready for battle in sunny Florida.

Robinson had a bit of a scare in Saturday morning practice. "dR" crashed with Kyle Bennett in the first turn, which sent Bennett to the hospital for some stitches and had Donny feeling a little groggy. After sitting in the infield for twenty minutes, Donny proclaimed himself good-to-go for Saturday's racing. He did not disappoint.

In Pro Cruiser, Donny rocked both Saturday and Sunday's mains, coming out of the Sunshine state with a double for the weekend on the big bike. In AA Pro, "dR" looked good in Saturday's first AA Pro main, winning the lap in fine style. In the second go-around, Robinson's hopes for a AA win ended when he crashed with Derek Betcher in the last turn while in the second spot. He ended up with a seventh in that round, but landed on the podium with a third overall. Sunday, it was a case of deja vu. Robinson once again won the first moto and crashed in the second main. This time "dR" finished a respectable fifth overall. "It wasn't what I wanted, but I'm stoked to get the two cruiser wins", stated Robinson. "I'm going faster than I ever have and I'm this close to getting a AA win. Congrats to DB on his first win."

Next up for Robinson is the NBL's RM59 Tropical Challenge race in Puerto Rico next weekend. Look for "dR" to rock it island-style aboard his Formula Solution rides.

The Formula Factory Team consists of Elite/AA Pro Donny Robinson, Superclass/A Pro Mike Lundy, 17 Expert Warren McDow, and 11 Expert Chad Kerley. Look for an announcement this week regarding Formula's newest Elite/Women's Pro pickup.
