SPEEDVISION GOES ONLINE: The Speedvision Network, the first 24-hour
cable network devoted exclusively to automotive, aviation and marine
entertainment and information, has announced the launch of Speedvision
Online (www.speedvision.com), the network's companion Internet site.
Speedvision OnLine was developed specifically for enthusiasts who
wish to obtain the latest consumer-oriented news and information,
motorsports results, standings and highlights. The service also features
up-to-the-minute information on the network, including program listings
and descriptions, as well as upcoming events airing on Speedvision.
Speedvision Online was designed to mirror the programming strategy of
the network, while adding value through the interactive capabilities
of the World Wide Web, stated Roger Werner, Speedvision's president
and chief executive officer. Users can obtain information on all
four vehicle categories, from manufacturer recalls to race results.
Additional sections of the site include an instruction and how-to area,
an arena for professional and amateur photographers to display their
work and bulletin boards. Available in approximately five million homes,
Speedvision is currently carried by Cox Communications Inc., Continental
Cablevision, Comcast Corp., Marcus Cable, Scripps-Howard, and Daniels
as well as nationally on DirecTV. The network is also accessible to
the C-Band market of backyard dish owners and small cable systems on
Satellite C-4, Transponder 11.


SCHIE CLOSING GROUND: Thomas Schie, of Norway, captured his second
straight Barber Dodge Pro Series win at Laguna Seca on Sept. 7 to
pull within striking distance of series points leader Fredrik Larsson
with two races to go. Larsson, of Sweden, continues to lead the point
standings, but has failed to make the winner's podium in either of the
last two races. Larsson leads with 133 points, followed by Schie with
123. Barber Dodge Pro Series action resumes at the Reno Grand Prix, with
the season concluding on October 12 at Lime Rock Park.
