DIG Motorsports/JustRacing.com's Justin Hall Wins Both Hard Charger And Holeshot Awards At Mid-Ohio

Los Gatos, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2006

After a disappointing qualifying session that saw a lap good for P7 on the grid get tossed out because of a red flag and then mechanical issues that prevented another attempt, car #12 driver Justin Hall rose to the challenge by gaining 17 spots to finish 17th after starting in P34 in the third round of the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car championship at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Hall's impressive drive resulted in his being awarded both the Sunoco Hard Charger Award for most positions gained during the race as well as DIG Motorsports' second B&M Shifters Holeshot Award of the season for most places gained during the race's opening lap.

"After starting much farther back on the grid than I'd planned, it was quite a battle to finish 17th," Hall said. "I was running as high as 12th place, but at one point another driver drove off at Turn 7 and was re-entering before 8. He had one wheel on the track and three in the grass when I passed and they awarded me a stop-and-go penalty for passing under yellow anyway. After that, bringing home these two prestigious awards means a lot to me."

Team owner Jon Prall had a competitive race in the #11 car as well, running a scant half-second behind Hall's pace during much of the race in spite of bring forced into a gravel trap at one point and then subsequently retiring with a mechanical problem

"We demonstrated convincingly that DIG Motorsports/JustRacing.com has the speed this weekend," team owner and #11 driver Jon Prall said. "We were running very strong, about a half second apart in lap times, when I suffered a disappointing mechanical failure near the end of the race. It just goes to show, though, that we will be very competitive at Infineon in June."

"Justin's Holeshot Award for passing 10 cars on the first lap adds to the one I brought home from the season opener as Sebring and his Hard Charger Award is just icing on the cake," Prall continued. "Today's race was a great performance by the entire team."

The Mid-Ohio round of the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car series will be broadcast on SPEED Channel on Saturday, May 27 at 8pm Eastern Time.

The site has attracted a large number of college students who are now able to find and buy used textbooks from their neighbours at the same campus.

Allen Goldstein, a computer science student at New York University, said, "Instead of going to eBay and spending hours and dollars without much success in selling my last year's textbooks, I can now go straight to Buy or Sell Books : Do it yourself http://www.hiidea.com/posts.php on

http://www.hiidea.com, and sell them to my buddies right here. I sold three books in a week, and get extra cash to buy new books for this sememster. Best of all, I paid no fee and the service is free at http://www.hiidea.com." Gil Diller, a doctorate student at MIT, was able to pick up a hard to find reference book that is used only in few universities, is excited: "I have been searching for this book for 3 months and nobody has it. I found it in Buy or Sell Books : Do it yourself (http://www.hiidea.com/posts.php). I can't believe the guy living in my apartment building got a copy, and it is in excellent condition. I was able to pay cash and pick it up right away. No shipping needed."

Mr. Peter Jin, the CEO of Hiidea Book & Music Store, was impressed by the warm remarks. He believes the site will have a large following once more and more people know about it. "It is free. It is the first site that allows college students nationwide to trade locally on campus. Once you know about it, you will keep coming back. This site will travel by mouth."
