Banning, Thanks for your post. I don't know if the v8 worked well or not. It was just a picture in a magazine. The article was more about Mulholland than any one car. That one just sticks in my head because it was a 911 and the V8. I am sure the magazine was not New West I don't think that would have been available in my little town in the Old East. Prior to reading this thread I have never heard of that publication.
Did Rod Simpson run with you guys on Mulholland? Could it have been his car? I do remember reading about him as well. Derek it's possible that was the story. I cant say for sure. What magazine and date of the issue? Is there a photo of the 911 with the engine lid open? Thanks again great thread. |
This shot is from a slalom in (I think) 1976, maybe OMS. Pretty sure this is Rod Simpson's car or at least one he built. Note the stack of business cards on the air cleaner. I don't recall him running on Mulholland but it was a long time ago.

I think you are correct that he didn't run Mul. He was a Santa Monica Policeman as I recall, or was just retired when I met him I think. He was contemplating making V8 911s in quantity. |
Banning? Is that really you? You feeling okay?

Hey gang, I found the pic below in the Feb 2011 issue of Grassroots Motorsports magazine.

Very cool Jeremy.

nice one jeremy!

Nice write-up, Jeremy. Too bad I didn't know about it earlier to have offered congratulations in person.
|
Hey Rocky, thanks for posting that. Thanks guys for the kind words.
And yes, Chris, that's Deadmans. I felt it was fitting as a tribute to the hill itself. I'm going to write up a little history behind all this Porsche and Mulholland stuff for the guys who don't know me so well. It's all a kind of fun Mulholland story. |
You're welcome Jeremy. I've had the issue for about a month. I've probably read it a dozen times, and this was the first time that I noticed it. As I used to live on Skyline Dr. then I should be embarassed that I didn't pick it out it right away.
