Driver Alain de Cadenet decided to slam on the brakes of his Ferrari 250 as soon as he reached the carpet, resulting in a simultaneous fall at the 2011 Mille Miglia North American Tribute
Okay, two things. First, who didn't tell Mr. de Cadenet about the loss rug? Second, who's the idiot who DIDN'T TAC DOWN THE RUG!? Gal holding the flag looks like she got hurt when she hit the deck.
I like DeCad, he's quite a character. I remember several years ago he was cohosting the Barrett Jackson auction along with Brock Yates who kept calling him 'Al' much to de Cadenet's obvious irritation. Especially when decad was gushing over an E type, and Yates quipped that it was nice of British engineers to conveniently mark all the parts that might fail with the letters L-U-C-A-S.
I think Yates was getting bored with providing color commentary that was expected to be the typical blather about numbers matching, rotisserie restorations etc. etc.
there are 35,500 posts.. it's in there somewhere. Around 10 years ago. Don't let it bother you, I don't let it bother me. I just try not to post anything I've posted before
Always loved that clip. Reminds me of what could have been, if this driver decidet to pop the clutch:
