i talked yo eric daboard today and said that the showing would be mon or tuesday ill let everybody know as soon as i find out. i myself have tried to put those late modle tires on and they take alot of air to get the bead to pop on the back side. so if you want to put a set on have them put on by a pro.they put them in a cage and blow em up that way they cant get ya. |

I used to ride with him a few years back when I got my first buggy, he was a very nice and talented fellow and knows his VW stuff, I remember once that his buggy motor locked up on a ride in KY and got towed out and we rode for about another hour, then when we got back, he got his buggy motor off of it and already got the rods off of the crank and found that he wiped the rod bearings, I thought that was pretty fast to get that far. My prayers goes out to his family and friends as well and hate to lose a good buggy rider. Be careful out there guys and god bless. |

What a terribble loss. Scotty was a super nice guy and very good at what he did . I bought my first buggy motor from him. Still got it. Pray for his family, he will be deeply missed. |

I am truly sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers for the family and friends. On a side note… This is scary because I have done tires several times with no bad effects. After reading this I will change my ways. I plan to get a locking fill valve and set my regulator to 40psi and clear the area while it fills. |

I have known Scotty for many years and I bought a couple of transmissions from him just 2 days before the accident. Scotty loved to go to the VW shows and cheat anyone he could, lol. I always told him he would cheat his own mother if given the chance. He and I loved to tease each other about anything we could. I usually talked about him being short and I will always remember his son, Zach saying "don't make him mad or he will head-butt you in the crotch!" He could definitely "dish it out" but he could take it as well. He was a good guy and would help anyone out if he could. From what I understand, he was leaning over the wheel/tire when it exploded. I am not sure if ether was used, but I heard it was, or if it was simply way too much pressure. Anyone who has tried to mount dirt track tires onto the Douglas/Mitchell wheels knows how hard it is to get them over the bead. We will miss you, Scotty.... |

If anyone would like to get a hold of me for anything, or just to talk, you can reach me at: collins2008@windstream.net.
