One of the Coolest Catz' ever! Who simply doesn't
give up...
As many Headlines are noting, today marks the
fifteenth anniversary of El Zorro', aka Alex Zanardi's nearly fatal crash at
the Lausitzring, in the former East Germany.
As Zanardi's accident occurred just four days
after that most elaborately Theatrical act simply known as 9-11 which I watched
on Thy Telescreen and have previously scribbled labourisly about, albeit as
typical how can five years have already slipped by? As the memory of Zanardi
desperately wishing to let go of the speed limiter whilst exiting Pitlane and
resume the lead is fleeting...
Yet instead of focusing upon that most
Horrific Shunt, where Zanardi's heart stopped seven times and only had a litre
of blood left before being saved! I'd prefer to focus upon the present, as I
was totally unawares' that this most affable Italian was once again competing
in the Paralympics, this time in Brazil.
As I-T really
froths me that the media's continuous White-washing 'O History ceasessly foams
away, by claiming that Zanardi won two Open Wheel Racing championships in Champ
Car; Uh WRONGO' again! As why is there such a concerted effort to ignore CART,
nee Championship Auto Racing Team's rightful place in modern day sport?
As hopefully today's news from Rio will bring
another smile to my face with Zanardi having secured his fourth Paralympics
Hand Cycling gold Medal! As I'll forever cherish my good fortune of Alex
walking over to greet me at Mother Speedway on Carb Day!
Having last
wistfully opined' about the legendous' accomplishments of El Zorro whilst
busily spending thy Dazes reclined on thou chaise lounge chair on the deck of
our Oceanside perch in Kona...
SALUTE ALEX!
