You're looking live at O'Gara's Bar in lovely St Paul. I've got my laptop tethered to my Blackberry for internet access and a full pint of Killian's. Pretty quiet in here. Separate browser window is set to brainerdraceway.com and hitting F5 to refresh every minute, on the minute. Nothing to report at this time.

Top-O-Da-Mornin'-To-Yea Tony! Due to rehab, I can't join you at the bar yet---but I did have a bowl of Lucky Charms this morning.

Perhaps it will be up at 8am (PST)...since that's where NHRA Headquarter's is at?

See ya in Staging!!!

Travis you may need a couple more bowls before it's up, Tony maybe you should switch to cereal. I'm told it will be after 5:00pm

I have become one of the nation's leading experts on Paul Thacker's legendary jump, I'll tell you that!

I have been eating corned beef sandwiches at regular intervals to give me the "endurance" I will need to stay conscious until my dream has been realized. Trips to the bathroom are becoming increasingly frequent and I fear that someone may steal my laptop as the crowd picks up for happy hour.

Perhaps it would be better for my health if I joined Travis to receive my meds in pill form.

Uh-oh, gotta go!

Paul's jump is also on the new site, I was just reading it. If anyone is near my shop in SLP stop by I can prove it exists

I am sure we are hiring somebody, but the position of message board and social-networking site monitor (racing-related and otherwise) is obviously filled. Sorry, Herb.

4 hours to go! Not sure which I am going to need first between a ride home and a liver transplant.

With 1 hour to go I had a nice joke all ready to go, but alas, the all-new brainerdraceway.com is not a myth!

Not sure how to score this one. The site is up and looks good, so I raced to the bracket section and the much-anticipated "Racer Purse" page. There are two options: view as a web page or open in Microsoft Excel. "Page unavailabe" on both accounts! It appears the enhancements are visual only at this time.

Tony, it is being addressed at this time. When the site went live it crashed and they pulled it and got it back up right away, now they are having server issues also, I just spoke to Bill he didn't know that portion was dead (it worked when I saw it last night), should be working soon (I will not say when because I don't know so stick to the cereal) If you have worked with internet/web/it people you how how they are

Those damned IT people! Probably spending all of their time on hobbyist message boards rather than working. I was the administrator of this very site at one time, although Herb initially created it and was responsible for the latest makeover. I pretty much just kept the points updated.

The stuff I do at work is much more involved and I understand what it takes to get a site working and keep it running. Don't worry about answering to me, this is just racing stuff!
