VICTORY BY DESIGN ON AGAIN TONIGHT

Just in case any of you want to see it or tape it. Personally I'm excited. Speedvision at 10:30 Pacific. First the Porsche installment, followed directly by the Ferrari installment. Anyone out there with a TV card and DVD burner? -- "Racing! - Science for the action minded." mark

nono that show makes me sick. SICK I tells ya...with envy!. First to see 'ol Decadenay(sp?) driving all those cars, then to realize the huge width of his driving experience is humbling. It gets worse when he travels off to Goodwood and starts finding cars he previously owned himself, or drove.... How do the Brits say it??? Lucky Sot.... dave henrie

Would you happen to know his history? A racer, I would presume. But I never heard of him until I saw him on Speedvision. I'm really glad he's there, envy or otherwise, his shows are some of the best TV has to offer. -- "Racing! - Science for the action minded." mark "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:s%T68.5158$[email hidden]... > > "Mark Jeangerard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:a3fs5b$j3r$[email hidden]... > > Just in case any of you want to see it or tape it.

He is....I THINK..... a well to do Brit, (family money and all that) who's raced in many forms of sports cars AND I beleive a short stint in F1. He built his own car to race at LeMans. Can anyone fill in the blanks?? dave henrie

Alan De Cadenet? From what I've seen, he had his own F1 team that took over where Brabham left off in the late '60s-early '70s. He also has run in sports cars, and also owns a vintage Spitfire from WWII. He was born 27 Nov 1945. Father of model/actress Amanda De Cadenet. 1968 Targa Florio with Tony Beeson 1978 Can Am, took 5th at both Mid-Ohio and Trois-Riveres in a British Post Office sponsored car 1980 Co-drove (in his car) with Desir� Wilson, won Silverstone 6 hours and Monza 1000 km 1990 Pan-American race winner He still annoys me, though...no person should be allowed to have that much fun and broadcast it for others to drool over... ;] Cheers!

I have the TVcard and regular CD burner, but I can't get the damn thing to capture video correctly... :( Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction...

I agree.. De Cadenet is one of the best motorsports announcers around. His historic racing knowledge is second only to perhaps David Donaldson, but Donaldson, while being a walking encyclopedia on the Indy 500, doesn't have the well rounded, Sportscar and F1 knowledge that Alan has (at least when talking about European racing history). I looked around for a website on him but no luck... Speedvision's website wasn't any help either. Anyone else able to fill in the blanks on Alan ??
