"Well Sir, here we are again, another birthday and another year older, this makes about eight I'd reckon... Happy Birthday Christian Racing."

Time has flown since we opened the doors here at Christian Racing back in January, 2001, yes time can really fly and time can really change. For those that have been around since the day, you have seen alot of change, alot of fun, alot of laughter, alot of great racing and you have met alot of really special people. You have also experienced alot of refinement, experienced alot of dispair, you have overcome alot of challenges and you really miss some very special people.

To those that have stuck in out through the thick and thin...... To those that have stood with CR through the muck and the mire......To those that may have not been around since back in the day, but they like what they see, and they now know that they belong ...... To those have come to the realization, that they are extememley inportant to CR, and yes it matters if they show up...... To those that continue to juggle their personel lives, in order to come out and participate...... To those that step up and help with the day to day...... Christian Racing Thanks You and Christian Racing would not be here today without you.

2009 will be a year like no other for Christian Racing and this year Christian Racing will depend on it's members like no year ever before.

This year Christian Racing will adding a second ARCA08 League on Friday nights to go along with our Wednesday night ARCA league. We are counting on the membership not to get frustrated with the new pragmatic system, and the changes in the software, but rather we are counting on you to overcome and keep at it. We are counting on you to purchase the software if you don't have it already, or maybe a system upgrade in order to run the software and participate on Wednesday or Friday to ensure our racing will go on.

Christian Racing will be counting on you on Tuesday nights as we try and get our Christian Cup Series off the ground using the Stock Car Evolution platform. This is a big step, but with the simularities between the SCE and ARCA interface, drivers should be in good shape. There will be challenges in getting the game set up and running and we are counting on you, to meet them. If you don't have rFactor the base platform that is needed to run SCE, then we are hoping that you will find a way to purchase it so that you can ensure our Tuesday night series will continue into the future.

We will be counting on our membership on Thursday nights as we try and get another season out of N2003. The truck series has always been popular here at Christian Racing, and as we look to the horizon for replacement software for that series, we know that there will be nothing to replace if we can't maintian what we have. CR needs you on Thursdays.

Sunday we offer you a various selection of rfactor platforms from Champ-Cars to go-karts; we will need members with rFactor who are not only willing to figure the in's and out's but help other members get up to speed in order to increase our driver base. rFactor has alot of potential drivers with it, who are unfortunatley scattered like sticks in the wind throughout it's many mods. The Sunday night series is a chance to draw some new members in.

Christian Racing has always been free with no requests for fees or donations and Christian Racing has always been there for it's members. Now the members will need to be there for Christian Racing, and yes there will be a monetary obligation if there is software to buy or a computer to upgrade.

How much is Christian Racing worth in order to upgrade systems, buy racing software, work a little harder, and organize a little better so you can race without neglecting your homelife? What is Christian Racing worth to you to bump it up a little on your list of life's priorites? The answer may be different for everyone that reads this as many have raced together, laughed together, built friendships together, prayed together and cried together. Many have supported one another through life's trials and circumstances, and many will need the support of this group in the future. Many have travelled to visit together, many have matured and grown a little older together and now many will need to decide the future Christian Racing as we know it together.

Through faith and trust in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Christian Racing has secured racing servers, webhosts and domain into the future, and CR is counting on the membership to keep step.

God Bless.
