I thought so too. Thanks very much Dave.

Also thank you again for that incredibly fun run on New Years. It meant a lot.

Porsche Crest Woodcliff

On a side note;
They finally did it. They put a signal at Woodcliff and Mulholland. Yuk!
This photo was taken today and shows the new signals just installed yesterday.
I knew it was coming. Hope that they dont' install cameras...
This is a high speed area.

"Oh look, honey... they put my name on that sign over there! Hey Mitch, it's Charlie... you gotta come see this."



"Charlie, that sign is mocking you."



"Hmmm... you could be right. But it might still be cool."




Hahahahaa! Great job, guys.

It just dawned on me... There are a few houses directly across the street. One of the driveways looks to be the one that the cars were backed up on, then let go. When those people leave in the morning they will all be staring directly at that sign.

Now they really know that they live on an important part of Mulholland, a short straightaway now Christened "Sheen Ravine". lol

And a big congratulations to Mr. Sheen for getting this canyon overlook section named for him without racing and without an accident or ticket taking place. I believe this is a first.

btw, this area has been the source of fun for me personally since 1967. There are fun stories here that are not in the book, heh, heh.

Happy to "contribute"...glad to see y'all had so much fun with it... wish I could've been there when it went up.

That dirt looks relatively soft... I don't imagine you had to hit that stake more than 3 - 5 times.

I think it was 5-8. Chris got in a couple extras after a car passed by. Looks soft, but remember, a couple of heavy cars went over that spot, as well as the tow trucks, and people.

Would it be better to move it 20 feet to the right... or left... so it doesn't get flattened by the next Sheen Machine to go over?

No fears... Version 2 has been planned out and will be built better and stronger.
