Anyone see who was taking pictures. I saw a "photo ahead" sign down in the bottoms. I didn't see if it was yellowwood or not?

Shredder I credit watching young Mr Stretz video of last years start as to where to line up. That and when I went to line-up I couldn't believe how tight everyone had lined up on that fence line. So I figured what the hell I will line up way right and see how things go. I got a good laugh when I saw you had caught onto what I was doing and how much further out you moved. I doubt I will make Milford so bake some fresh cookies when Walters Ranch comes around.

The saddest sound in all MotorSports is the noise the drivetrain makes as you slowly coast to a complete stop.

Gathering stuff from my 2nd shooter. Photos and videos will be uploaded before the end of the week. I'm hoping to put them up asap. Will have video clips for sale this year in addition to photos. I didn't get to see who slow-motion low-sided right in front of me, but that was awesome! :D

Glad I could help with that video :). I knew once we lined up in the similar spot I had a good shot and snagging another one, I almost didn't make it. It was a good thing Terry let off a bit.

Here's one from this year...don't think I can three-peat next year though.

This weekend was very interesting. The course was amazing but yet very rocky. I come in after the first lap in 3rd place, second lap im in 2nd, and third lap im in 1st! The final lap was brutal. My thighs were cramping and I was starting to whiskey throttle like crazy. I finished the race getting 1st place.

I would like to thank Letko Cycles and my family for keeping me out there on the course.

First time racing at collins, and all i can say is that i loved it! Love the set up. We pulled in thinking it was going to be a mud race, but it wasnt as bad as expected. Started the race off with Macon and I tied for the holeshot. Luckily I pulled ahead at the last second and took the hole shot! I was not wanting to follow anyone up the rough up hill ahead, so that was nice! Made it up the hill with no problems, then just tried to maintain a good speed, the random rocks and off camber sections made it hard to do so. Macon and I were battling for a little bit, then something happened and Thomas Mack got in front of him. Led the first lap with thomas behind me. 2nd lap thomas got around me around the 4 mile marker where there is a technical section. Every lap i had a problem making it up that rock hill. I was passed there 2 or 3 times. I passed Thomas after the finish, he stopped to fill up. Started making mistakes and Macon caught up to me. Tanked up after the 3rd lap and Macon was on me we battled all the way to the 4 mile rock hill where i crashed and he got around me. Caught back up to him on the last lap and battled but i crashed twice and he was outta site :( . Last 1/4 mile saw him pushing his bike up the hill. Later found out he ran outta gas. Ended up 1st with Macon behind me, he would of had this one if it wasnt for the gas. Itll be good racing with everyone this year, great 1st race! Thanks to Dan and everyone else who helped on the track and the ladies in the trailer! See you at Milford!

On another note, wanted to thank everyone at Letko Cylces for getting my suspension dialed in, felt very smooth! Fly Racings gear is sweet this year, everyone should check there stuff out and give Perry a call.
