Bryan at BNR had industrial accident!!
Hi folks,
Bryan called me today just after he was released from the hospital. He had an accident in his shop last week in which there was a minor explosion which resulted in 2nd degree burns. He wanted to let folks know that orders will be delayed. Well-wishers can email him at BNRsupercars@yahoo.net.

As a close friend I will let you guys know what happened so there arent any rumors or anything that spread.
Bryan uses a high temp paint that he paints on turbine housings of certain turbos then he uses a hand held torch to cure it. The housing hangs on a hook for this process, after painting he sat the can down, the housing fell off the hook, hit the can and punctured it, at which point it was ignited from the torch and exploded. He has 2nd degree burns on both arms, hands, neck, face....31% of body I believe was the doctors determination. If you dont know anything about 2nd degree burns, in terms of pain they are the worst. They require the same scrub treatment as 3rd degree but you still have all the nerves in the skin which makes the treatment MUCH more painfill than 3rd degree. It is beyond painfull when they scrub your burns every couple days.
He is going to have some delay, however hopefully not too bad. As soon as we can get him out of the house we are taking him to the shop so he can sit there and tell me what to do so we can get his orders filled. Im basically going to be his hands untill he can get back to using them. If you have a order placed, dont freak out just send Bryan a email at BNRsupercars@yahoo.com and he will give updates. He will probably start checking the email and giving updates in a week or so. *If you need to place an order go a head and do it so that he doesnt loose business over this situation, your order will get filled*
Thanks for the concen guys! He really appreciates it,
Stephen

Man, that's like some "Final Destination" **** right there.
Hope he recovers as quickly as possible. Being burnt isn't that painful in alot of cases because it happens so quickly....it's recovering that sucks.

Wow, that really sucks! I hope he recovers well. If they don't offer it, there is some stuff for burns made with silver. I don't remember the name but it worked wonders for my road rash when I went down on my GSXR.

Damn that.
Bryan is a good guy. He gave me a good 2 hrs of phone tech support when I bought my stage 2 from him. I was young and dumb, and he was patient.
Best of luck my friend.

Same thing here. When I bought my stage one he sat on the phone for a good 45 minutes going over my fueling and intercooler options while offering alot of personal experience. Good luck Bryan!
