Rael in Daytona Car Race

Rael in Daytona 24 hour Race....("UFOs" / the "Raelians"...France)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Rael, the fastest religious
leader in the world, will be racing in the Daytona 24-hour race which will
take place Februrary 1 and 2 at the wheel of an Argo BMW V-12 with 650 horse
power, racing in ESC category and able to reach more than 200 mph.  His co-
drivers on the car number 19 will be the Indy Car Driver Butch Brickell and
Edd Davin.

The Raelians beleive extraterrestrials created life on Earth scientifically
in laboratory using DNA.  They say these extraterrestrials are the ELOHIM of
the Bible, a name which was wrongly translated by "God" and means in Hebrew
"Those who came from the sky."

The Raelian Church has 35,000 members in 84 countries.

Rael's book, "The Message Given To Me By Extraterrestrials," is a world best
seller, translated in 22 languages and sold at more than 1 million copies
which relates the experience Rael had in 1973 when he was a journalist in
France and says he was contacted by extraterrestrials, the ELOHIM, who
brought him inside a UFO and asked him to spread the message explaining the
Raelians' origins and to build an Embassy close to Jerusalem where they will
come back officially, like their scriptures say.

The car will be sponsored by UFOLAND, the first center for UFO phenomena in
the world where the public will be able to visit the interior of the full
size replica (21 feet) of a UFO, based on Rael's book, and which will open
its doors next May in Valcourt (Quebec), 75 minutes North East of Montreal.
