Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for downloading this carset. This carset has many, many people to thank, so let's begin.
First of all, a big thank you goes out to FCRD. Without your mod, none of this would be possible, and I've gained many, many friendships in this community in the last nine months, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I want to thank the hosts of stunodracing.com, the NR2003 discord, NNRacing.com, and the NR2003 carset group discord. Without you all, we wouldn't have been able to get this project off the ground, and your contributions have made this much, much more possible.
I want to thank Stiggy for coming on board early on with NCRD and myself. Stiggy helped make some of the more challenging cars in the set, including the Wyndham cars, the Jockey cars, and several of the patriotic cars. His contributions for this 2022 carset will never be forgotten.
Rishabh came on late, but honestly, he improved so much so quickly as a painter, and for that we honestly are very appreciative. Rishabh painted the LeafFilter and HAASTooling cars, among others, and that truly means a lot to us as we really needed the extra body once NCRD went back to teaching. This project may not have been completed without
you.
Lastly, I want to thank NCRD, who I will hereafter refer to as Chris. Chris, you listened to a dumb, hapless 27 year old trans kid who didn't know what she was doing. You chose to take me under your wing and showed me how to do many things, but the thing that I'll remember the most is that you gave me your time and kept trying to help me despite me bugging you to paint cars for me. I'm still not fully self-sufficient as a painter, admittedly, but because of you, I have an incredible amount of motivation and drive to continue into next year, and that's something I will never forget no matter if we're working together next year, 5 years for now, or if this is it.
NCRD, you are such a great member of this community, and without you, this project would never have gotten going in the first place since we know the community in itself isn't great about working together. But more importantly, no matter where we go from here, I consider you a close friend, and I truly hope that we are able to continue to communicate even past this project. You are so valuable to this community in so many ways and you've been the force this community needs to move forward, especially given NR2003 is 20 years old now.
Lastly, a big thank you is in order to all of you who are reading this read-me and not just blindly downloading and playing the carset. You are the people who will carry the torch of this community going forward. I'm great at organizing, but I'm much less great at painting, so I'm going to need some help as we go into 2023. I only hope that the progress we have made in 2023 isn't unwritten by stupidity or selfishness.
Thank you!
