PREZ SAYS

Taking the High Road

As we wind down our season with a couple Enduros and a Scramble left on the schedule, our work continues as we close out the season. Behind the scenes, meetings and emails on a weekly basis, FTR strives to promote safe, fun and organized events that can be experienced on any of our event weekends. All of this just doesn’t happen with a snap of a finger or the wave of a magic wand, lots of countless hours are spent making the best decision for the organization along with adjusting to the ever changing atmosphere. We have a lot of people on board that only want the best for FTR and are continually working to make improvements that will enhance and strengthen our organization.

Sometimes the decisions are not the most popular and that’s okay as we accept that as part of the process. The main goal is for our family to continue to enjoy our sport, our extended weekend families and to promote good sportsmanship. I have mentioned this many times that any organization is going to have growing pains and that not everyone agrees on what the best decision is to move forward. I also have said that FTR is so well established that we are continually noticed and under the microscope as our name and reputation is known all over the country. As we continue to improve and polish our series, the likelihood of things slowing down to catch our breath proba- bly won’t happen. With some of the biggest names in the industry like Moose Racing and FMF continuing their support along with Engine Ice, HBD and Seat Concepts on the local side, our 23/24 season will be another stellar record breaking season. As we move forward and our big show happens on July 15, remember what we have and do your part to help us continue to provide those great weekends of friendship and competition.

Thanks for listening,

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7

As believers in Jesus, we celebrate Resurrection Day (Easter). Have you ever wondered what it may have been like for the apostles to be with Jesus? This may be an example.

My name is Matthew. I am one of the original 12 apostles of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Before meeting Jesus, I was a tax collector. Commissioned by the Roman government, my job was to assess and then collect taxes from the Jewish population. The amount owed under law went to Romans; anything extra went to meand I made sure there was a lot extra. I was very well off, but NOT very well liked.

I had business associates, acquaintances and friends most of whom were also hated by the Jewish population. They were mostly other tax collectors and overseers who willingly worked for the Romans; like me, well
