Folks,This is not racing related, but then again it is as we are ALL Americans.Please take the time to say a prayer for those lives lost and victims and families of lost loved ones, of 9/11.It has been 7 years ago now and, while a few in our country seem to have forgotten what happened on that morning. I feel that I speak for the masses here in saying that, I have not forgotten, nor will I ever forget that day, 7 years ago.I remember exactly what I was doing and did the day that our freedom was attacked, by cowards on a mission to destroy us and our American beliefs, all in the name of Mohammed.This day changed me forever. My daughter lost family members on her mom's side. I had a good friend (almost like a sister) to lose her brother in law, the day the towers came down.I can remember spending that evening in a dark sanctuary of my old church, filled to the brim with fellow believers, in prayer as well as reading 2 Chron. 7:14.[14] IF MY PEOPLE, who are called by MY NAME, will HUMBLE themselves and PRAY and SEEK MY FACE and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR from heaven and will FORGIVE their sin and will HEAL THEIR LAND.I am sitting here now trying to type this and keep this short, but the feelings are arising and I am wanting to go on and on about this. I had better stop now, while I can still see the monitor through the blurriness of the tears.Pastor Ken SharpeRacers Reunion Outreach (Chaplain)Flowing River Fellowship (Pastor)Level Cross, NC

I had the opportunity to visit New York City just a week ago and we went to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island (to see my sister-in-laws' grandmothers name on the wall) and then we went to Ground Zero. I can not express the absolute sadness that you feel when you see the pictures of all the fellow Americans that have never been found. I found myself sobbing and over whelmed with emotions. I am unable to comprehend how another human from this planet could think about, let alone carry out such a horrible act. Color, party affiliations and/or race...what are all these things, when really we are all habitants of this one planet all on it together and we need to be focused on keeping this planet healthy and able to sustain life and continue with healthy activities like rooting for your favorite race car driver whether it be trucks, stock cars or sprint cars.

I agree totally, my friend. Lest we never forget our fallen heroes and fellow Americans who perished by this callus act of terror. I have had a very hard week this past week with the anniversary of 9/11. Like you said it dosen't matter about race, color, creed, or religious beliefs. These were human beings, Americans, Europeans, Asians, Africans and other nationalities in the towers.They were all humans,I cannot imagine those who are not concerned and seem to have forgotten 9/11. There are those who think this was a USA backed conspiracy as well. I say that they are sick and out of touch with reality.Let's Roll,Pastor Ken

Those are the ones who will blindly allow it to happen again, unfortunately.
