Zanardi Letter?

[garyshell]

Like Chris R., as much as I really wanted too, I just couldn't afford to keep my AR1.com subscription going, but I do read the headlines each day. So I am VERY curious what is the Zanardi Letter article about. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,
Gary

Jimispeed sent a link to another forum which because of the ridiculous rules here, was removed. But thankfully the automatic email notice went out before it was removed. So I tracked down the links from the other forrum and sanitzed them to share here.

First was a link to the header of an article at Autosport. The full text requires a subscription, but the header read:

The link to the "other side" also included a couple of photos:

Thanks jimispeed, you are right it DOES look like he is doing his traditional post win donuts. Go pineapple, go! Alessandro you are the best!

And I just looked at Alex's site and there is a GREAT story of one of his races on the front page of the site:

Did you guys read the article on his home page? He is competing in these events in exactly the same way as he drove cars. Its a great read.
