DRIVER PROFILE FOR
WILDMAN FLIPPIN' FRED COLLINS (2006-09)
Fred Collins after his historic first
feature win on
7/27/2009, after he came back from a wild flip in the first
30-lap feature of the night, shook it off, and then led the majority
of the second 30-lapper in the Galletta's #9! Five years of winless
racing, wild accidents, and close calls with victory lane falling
short finally paid off for Fred!
Name: Fred Collins
Name: Fearlessly Fast Flippin' Freddie, Wild-man, Wild Werewolf,
Bionic Hip Hipster.
Karts: Galletta's Go-Karts #9, #2, #7
or #1. Bought Howard Seabrook's Spongebob Squarepants machine in 2007,
but oddly never raced it once anywhere, and had it stolen from
him. Also bought one of Ed Maynes old karts, but, again, never
raced it anywhere and apparently a neighbor burned it and
his ex-girlfriend took it from him. Poor Fred always has bad
luck! Well, at least he won some races in 2009!
Years Racing Go-karts at Galletta's:
2004-current.
Won in 2009.
Led a large portion of the 2005 Klassic. Finished well in 2005
and 2006 Klassics. Excellent attendance until he broke his hip
in an off-season snowmobile accident. Always finishes well in
the Point Standings. All-Time Career leader in flips. Still seeking his
first win. Galletta's All-Time Leader of most career races without a single win of any kind, heat or feature
before 2009. Fred would race more if he had more money or
sponsors.
Then
Fred had possibly the scariest accident ever in Galletta's
raceway history. Matt Stevens, Wes Stevens, and Kyle Reuter
caught tires, and going 35-45mph, Matt and Kyle, out of control,
drove directly into Fred Collins, who parked in the middle of
the track at the start of the race. Even though the wreck was
horrific, video-watching dolts on YouTube constantly give it
poor ratings because they mistake it for the Worst Wreck on
YouTube. It isn't. It was the worst wreck on Galletta's Backyard
Speedway caught on tape. Nice that I get wrath because of all
the low IQ-ed people out there in YouTube land. Observe: Visually,
the worst wreck at Galletta's. More here-->.
70 green-flag laps, 13 karts,
and two feature winners were in store for
Monday, August 31st, 2009 - a Twin-30s Night! Rapid
Rollin' Russell Hockey took the first feature of the night,
followed by Furiously Fast Fred Collins taking the second.
