One day in early March, I was waiting the arrival of NR2003, and I registered on EFR. I was extremely active there, and planned my own series, the NRSSC. It never ran.
Anyway, one day, I was watching some of Cy's old vids, when in the suggestions, I saw, "NORA Castrol Cup Series Race 1: Talladega". I clicked on it, and watched the vid. The only time i'd heard of Josh before was at EFR, AFTER the whole Jrod pointing out RJ's stupidity thing happened.
So I clicked the link somewhere, either on that vid, or on Josh's channel. I registered.
Most everything here was concerning the AARO and the AERS. I had seen some of the 2009 vids, and i must admit, those were awful.
Anyway, when Josh opened NTVTS signups, I signed myself up.
And when FGR/Weatherman abandoned the #35 and #72 AERS rides, I jumped at the oppurtunity.
Soon, I learned the tricks of the trade, and began painting with GIMP. In my early days, I was a cut-and-paster. I still them, although not for cars I use in offline leagues.
I became a mod, but didn't really have a good relationship with anyone here. Then one day, when I PM'd Josh about approving the NSRD, he asked if I had skype or anything. I did, and we began talking.
Sometime after that, I discovered the chatbox, and since then I've joked it up there with Josh, Nick, Vinny, Weatherman, and Tyson.
I then wanted to run the AARO regional series, but I couldn't balance three series. So Nick made the greatest suggestion, merge the NSRD into the Molson Canada Series.
Josh put out a thread about the new NORA team, Mannshaft Rot Stier Rennsport. I asked him if I could have a spot on the team for Castrol Cup. He agreed. Now I have half-ownership of it, along with him.
I began commentating the AARO regional races, and I failed on some of the vids.
One day, my mom walked in my room, and saw me talking to Josh and Eric Webler on skype. She asked if I gave out my name. I said I did. Thus, I am now banned from skype.
I started to notice my name rocket up the total post chart, until I finally passed Vinny for third. xD
Now, here I am, posting for the 1000th time, and at the beginning of summer, I had 150. Go figure.
BTW, if any of you admins delete threads that cause my post count to go down, you will be banned by me! HAHA! Aw, jk.

No that I am heading of to high school, like a lot of you here, I will not be on here nearly as much. Even as Nick and Josh run their series, I won't be here, but please remember I still care a lot about the AARO and NORA, and every member who is here that acts like a good person.
Don't forget that, but my days of posting many times a day may be done, but I'll still make it around here to see you guys.
And remember, if my mom EVER lets me on the computer during my high school years, this will be the FIRST site I come too. Not YT, Not EFR, Not SRD. No disrespect to them, because I like them very much, too, but I feel that THIS IS MY HOME when it comes to forums.
Your friend in NR2003 racing,
~Jacob Eichholtz.
P.S. I'll still post a lot until the end of summer.
