W00T!

Got LiveWire going here at the office.  Hopefully the IT Nazi's won't shut it down on me.

Brian Hall 29th fastest in FX so far w/a 1:47.659 - GO BRIAN!!

Any word on what happened to Brian Hall?  He was going pretty good on Wednesday.

i think I saw him in the back ground of a picture of Michael Barnes on RRW.  Barney wadded pretty good.

[Super Dave]

He qualified, but I don't see him doing any laps in the supersport race.

[StumpysWife]

He didn't practice yesturday either.  That's why I was concerned.  Hope he didn't get hurt.

Talked to Purk and Ortega on the phone last night and sounds like Hall blew up a motor or two in practice.... But our boys Dano, and our one and only racing dentist "Dr Jeffery Purk" both qualified for the Supersport and FX/200 races....Way to go guys...Oh and Ortega was practicing on his new 06' R6 and put a whole in the radiator - and blowing his head gasket...Now his just running the 05'....Purk says he's glad they have today off so that they can rest.....

Brian and his poor motors!!!  Good grief!

I'm glad to hear its the bike and not him, though.

I had a sinking feeling he blew up a motor or two  :(  Poor guy.  I really hate to see someone with as much potential as he has run into such a string of "bad luck"  :(

Methinks its time for a new engine builder...

Looking at the results of qualifying, I see DanO running a GSXR-6 and if I'm not mistaken, he ran his fastest laps on that bike...  interesting...

And yes, I too fear the season that Hall has 95% of everything go RIGHT (no busted shoulders/collar bones/blown motors).

Brian will have himself back up and going for the season. Hopefully he will get himself in a more reliable position he truly has some talent and goes well when things aren't stacked so highly against him. He is resourceful, I'm sure he will rebound well.

I can only imagine Old-Timer's (aka Mister Hall) mood down there right now!  I feel sorry for the poor sap that's going to be on his sh*t list after this weekend!
