Legacy
Collras was a fixture of the California scene through the years it was becoming the centre of the sport, and finished second at the Mr America twice without ever taking it. The record is a good description of how deep that era was.
Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1955 to 1972.
Contests of this era awarded a height or weight CLASS title and then a separate OVERALL title, and several also gave a Most Muscular award. In the table below, a class win and an overall placing at the same contest are both correct and are not a contradiction, and a Most Muscular row is an award given at that contest rather than a win of it.
