By admin February 7, 2008

Charlotte, NC — Blake Lehr has never been one to back down from a challenge. For 2008 that challenge will be a lofty one, competing in the ultra-competitive Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model division. At just 17 years of age Blake has already accomplished a lot in his young career. In 1999 at the age of 8, Blake began his racing career driving a 345-pound, 11 horsepower Ultramax Go-Kart. In 2005 he finished second nationally on the dirt tracks of the World Karting Association, taking four state championships in Florida. In 2006 it was off to the Open Wheel Modifieds of the Gulf Coast Modified division. 2007 saw Blake racing full-time driving Super Late Models in Florida’s Sunbelt Series, earning one win and eight top five finishes on the way to fifth in the point standings. And now, Blake Lehr and has family have moved from Florida to Waxhaw, NC, ready to challenge for the 2008 PASS South Super Late Model championship.

“We first heard about the PASS Series in 2006 when some of their drivers came down to Florida to race in SpeedFest,” said Lehr. “I was really impressed by how competitive the PASS drivers were and that made us think that we needed to begin traveling ourselves.”

Let’s Dig In

By admin February 7, 2008

We have taken some broad strokes as we looked at this Winter Bible Study passage, now it is time to dig in. Just like taking a new car to the track, you do some laps, get a feel for it and then the time comes to make it go fast. It is time to take this passage apart, verse by verse and commit to letting it make a difference in our lives. Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Before you can go fast in a racecar you have to get comfortable first. You have to get a feel for it and learn what the limits are. The same with Scripture, there is the big picture, a feel for the entire message. Then you take a closer look, like making the fine adjustments to make everything work together for a complete understanding.
