What is the best memory in your r/c racing career?
Well, not racing, but one time I was driving rc's with BMX pros Nate Wessel and Colin Winkleman on the BMX track here at Woodward Camp. It was Nates first day rc'n. We were all hitting this huge jump. I looked back after my buggy landed and saw Nate's monster truck flipping through the air. Colin was irate, yelling and screaming. I leaned over to Nate and asked what happened. He said he had creamed Colin in the head with his truck accidentaly. I then looked again at Colin to see he had a huge tire track across his face. I lost it, and we all started laughing! Rest in peace Colin. You are missed!
