Central Cycle Club August 8th

RIP Pete Collins

We lost a great competitor yesterday. Pete Collins passed away Sunday, August 1st doing what he loved. Early reports are that he suffered a major medical incident, veered off the track, fell over, tried to get up but fell back down. CPR was started almost immediately but Pete was gone. Pete raced NESC motocross for many decades and was part of the NESC family, he grew up racing the amateur series in the 80s, went on to race the expert classes in the 90s and lately was a contender in the vet classes. When he wasn't racing he ran Pete's Cycle and Sled where many racers have had their bikes worked on, getting them ready for next Sunday's motos. All of us at the NESC, the board of directors, the rider reps, the staff, all the tracks extend our deepest condolences to Pete's family and all his friends. God speed Pete Collins #24
