This just in from Roadracing World contributing photographer (and Livengood family friend) Vicki Sulpy, via e-mail:

Just wanted to let you know they rescheduled Brian Livengood’s surgery for Friday, May 30th at 7:30 a.m.

They are trying to fight an infection that he has had so they had to postpone it.

They did more cultures today and said that there was a slight possibility they would be able to do the surgery on Thursday but if not, it is definitely scheduled for Friday.


Editorial Note: Racer Brian Livengood crashed and hit a concrete wall at Road Atlanta after his bike’s rear tire came apart during AMA Superbike qualifying on Friday, May 16. Livengood suffered a concussion, bruised lungs and fractures to his T5 and T6 vertebrae in the crash. He has been on a respirator in an Intensive Care Unit since he was flown to Grady Memorial Hospital in a Medevac helicopter. Doctors plan to fuse T4 through T7 to stabilize his spine and prevent any spinal cord damage.
