I am not starting rumors just want clarification on the verbiage they are using.

rrw.com reports:

Baker Race Gear lost Team Owner Brian Baker, its Suzuki GSX-R1000 and its best endurance equipment in a crash Thursday morning

I think maybe it should have read "Baker Race Gear Team Owner Brian Baker lost its Suzuki ..."

the way it is writen it should receive much more than a blurb...

I heard that Brian got airlifted out of the track. Not sure what his condition is though. I hope he is OK!

[motomadness]

I hope he is okay as well.  Our prayers are with you Brian.

When I read the article, I immediately started looking around the web for other news, but couldn't find any, so I figured the article was just poorly phrased.  I hope he is going to be okay.

Well, if he got air-lifted, he's lost to the team...  

Prayers are with you Brian...

Hoping for more details....

I hope Brian is okay too.

The updated article said Brian was injured. The BRG Team finished 5th. Let's hope Brian's ok.

Brian... prayers for a speedy recovery!!!

I talked to a few guys on Sat at Homestead and they said Brian was fine.  He was in the hospital under 72 hrs observation.  

Not sure what happened, it was stated that in T2 he got mixed up with someone and ended up "launching" himself..

No real facts, but anyhow, thought I'd pass on what I heard...
