most of you know Colin he preps the track and runs the short track...he went down hard on the short track last nite.i didnt see the crash so i won't give any details on the what happened...colin is in critical condition and from what i heard via the track this morning,colin is still unconscious...from what i've been told he had a stroke as a result of the head trauma,he also has some other broken bones..we need to keep him in our prayers....

I saw this in another thread,  I know a lot of you guys know him.  He needs our prayers

[Hoosier Daddy]

WOW! thanks for sharing! We will keep him in our thoughts.

   Several of us know him pretty good from the early days of flat tracking at DC. He really helped get us going and supported us a ton. Sure hope he pulls through.

Days literally??

[Hoosier Daddy]

No not literally.  He will live but wont come home, work, or have a normal life.

[jayman]

Wow, anything we can do for him?  I am sure we can all pull together and help him somehow.  This man's life and family is completely changed. How can we or I (if no one wants to jump in) help him?

[Hoosier Daddy]

I working on something for an upcoming race. He doesnt have any fam here in the US.

[jayman]

What ever it is I am IN!!!!!

[jayman]

I have not heard any updates on Collin.  How is he doing?  Did he ever leave the hospital?  What can we as a group do for him?  It has been like two months Come on let's do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jayman]

So no one has an update on Collin?

[Hoosier Daddy]

geez put ya pants on! 
I was out of town over the weekend but I made a call yesterday to find out what the deal is..

So.... I was told he was moved into a permanent nursing home. I dont know which one but Im tyring to find out. Since he doesn't have any family here in the U.S. it tough to get info out of people. But it seems hes in the same state he was in when he was in the hospital.             

  If anyone is interested maybe the SFTL can collect donations at the Eastbay race and I can get the $$$ to him. The sad thing is, I dont know how much that would really help considering the injury's he has.
