last week i got an invitation in the mail to go to a book signing in NYC for Alex Zanardi...first off, the store was really cool, lots of great model cars (they had a 914) and other stuff...and they had a gorgeous mh900E on display,
he was a really nice guy! it was great to get a chance to meet him and shake his hand
Full Version: i got to meet Alex Zanardi Today!
Congrats, GREAT score!
Over the past w/e, I watched the interview that Dave Despain did on Wind Tunnel with A.Z.
it was quite moving, hard to think that I would be that positive if I had gone thru what he did.

WOW! That is great!I was lucky enough to meet him before the Long Beach
Grand Prix for 4 years in a row when he drove
for Team Target, and he is truly a wonderful person,
and you are right, an inspiration to us all after what he
went through. He really is lucky to be alive!
Cheers to you AZ!

One of the most exciting racers in the late 90's to watch go from the back to the front. It was almost like he had a leg up on everybody!
Now he is just equal to the rest of us, but he still races and with hand controls he would probably beat each of us too.
I have an amazing photo of his crash with Tag cutting his car in half. It is pretty graphic and I don't know if I want to post it here but to see it and then the picture of him above in this post is inspirational at least.

Yes, the accident was so graphic! I actually still have the video of it
But I am just so thankful that he made it through, and lived...
and with his incredible spirit and engineering know how,
he is helping so many people with innovative prosthetic limbs.
Way to go Alex
Did you know that his wife, Daniella, ordered him a custom made
hand controlled BMW before he even was out of surgery the day of the accident! What a cool wife
