Best of luck!!! in my opinion your brother is already accomplished more in life then most racing nationals. Being a full time college student and working, just bad ass.

Good luck to him. Hope he gets in the show.

His Priorities are in the right place. After these painful years he'll be able to fund his (and possibly his children's riding and racing) without having to beg for shit from anyone because he was willing to gut it out and suffer for a few years.

He's riding a Yamaha? No way he'll ever have a chance on that blue pig! Grinning

Good luck. I'll be rooting for him!

^^^
This
Friend of ours missed making the show because he was in "B" Qualifying and went out after the "A" was done and doing so dropped his lap times by 3 seconds just missing the show.

He had been faster than the last 8 guys that did make it but they were lucky enough to make the main because they went out in the first Q with "A" (In A because they raced High Point week before)

The very next year he was in "A" and made the main easily, so yes, rail the track his first timed lap because thats as smooth as it's gonna get.


GOOD LUCK MAN, WE'LL BE ROOTIN!

Yes. He will not be rolling around in 40th. If he makes the show, he will push for 30+2
