Hello and Good Afternoon,
My name is Alrich, I can only assume that you do not remember this name, of course you do have hundreds of friends and fans, but I am the gentleman that requested to meet you about 4 years ago at Charlette but I had to default the trip because I lost my Grandma right before the race. Well.....First of all, I would like to say please excuse my latent need of pardon from you from for reasons that are beyond my own intentional ignorance....I no longer have cable television and this has made it difficult for me to diligently keep up with the NHRA racing circuit as I once did for a large portion of my time. So, I have been using YOUTUBE to catch up on what I can of the latest races and technical advances that come with it. Because drag racing has become, at least lately, an underground phenomenon amongst a lot of new and long time racing fans, I actually lost some of the fire I had in my heart for trying to watch or even read about racing because of the fact that I really could not bare to see most of these young people participating in the sport for reasons I believe are just for achieving levels of prestige and exercising their brevity because it's one of the latest avenues of glorified defiance of the trials of life and death......especially for the guys whom I will only "guess" are in it because I believe this is the reason.
Yes, it does draw up a little envy in me because I failed to respond to beacons of light earlier in my time because I felt I needed my old man along with me as a guide when I was heavily in the pursuit of learning about and how to drag race. But, I used every excuse in the book not to come out from under my Dad's protective umbrella to "just go and do it" and now that I am engrossed with tribulations that keep me in cycle of denial....(yes....still), I have been in a whirlwind of procrastination with the obvious notion that my dream to become just like you has diminished to the point of near impossibility. ATLEAST.....up until the point in which a few months ago after browsing and watching every YouTube video I found interesting about drag racing or cars in general....I suddenly stumbled upon a video with a picture of you in the avatar and I was immediately risen from the dead with enthusiasm and question in my mind as to whether or not you were back where your hard working, patient and deserving self needed to be....on the seat of a 200 m.p.h. Pro Stock Motorcycle.
But to no avail, I was some how disheartened with the fact that the video was not an update of the LATEST news about your needed presence and participation in the sport the I most admire but no more than I do of you Miss Peggy Llewellyn. I am not trying to just be charming here, but I do miss seeing your face on the television screen especially after the first time I saw you live and you won your first race, even though that would be, unfortunately the last time because I understand from my recent research and browsing the net about you that, YES it is difficult to maintain anything in life especially something so mentally, physically and financially challenging as drag racing.
Lastly, I would like to close the little message of reminiscence of you with the fact that I do still have your hero card and it hangs on my bedroom wall and I see it and think about you and wonder where and how such a brave women such as yourself exists who has a passion for the some of the same passions as myself and why you so quickly faded away and I allowed myself to become oblivious to knowing I stopped communicating with you and I see your face almost every day and I don't even think to even remind myself to just say hello to someone who's image alone motivates me daily to keep on fighting for another breath so I could at least have the opportunity of knowing that the possibility of meeting someone like yourself or maybe even YOU is still forever possible. That's all for now and I hope you have been sustaining a beautiful life and you are still striving to make and accomplish every endeavor or wish you ever had in your time here on earth. See you later.....PEACE.
