That is good news.:D

I'll try to invite a "special guest" tomorow.

Was that Dave B. in the #7 Cobra? I know he and his brother has one.
Or had one.

awesome historical info. Thanks!

Today they would simply create it on computers to 'sym' the
action bits.

gees you'd think that the retiree's would love the excitement. Most can't hear the
cars anyway. Least I know the resultant hearing loss in in my future as well. So, it can't be the retirees complaining.

Sharp eye Ron! That is indeed our old cobra. Anthony is the new owner and is a real enthusiast
He has a red one as well

WELL! Where's the proof?

A CONCEPT IN JUST ONE PHOTO. THANKS JEFF.
THAT REALLY SUMS IT UP.

Well, I...uh...know a little about the proposed track and you should know that
the CEO claims that the famous Turn 9, the long back straight with a fast left hand kink and the elevated Turn 6 of the original Riverside cannot be duplicated.

This due to the insurance companies and motorcycle racers not wanting a banked turn 9. The insurance not wanting a long back straight and other
'things' that hinder duplicating the original turn 6.

I'd STRONGLY suggest that everyong YELL and SCREAM via E-mails about keeping the original RIR layout as close as possible to the remake at RMP.

Anyone wonder why they put TV camera's in places like Mulholland
and not in say Watts or South Central L.A.?

Are they really concerned with stopping crime or simply generating revenue?

I suppose the question answers itself.

Geez, I haven't seen this thread in awhile. Still going. eh? That house appears to me as being on Dearvale Dr. I lived below it (nearly) Knobhill and Summerfield Dr. But what is that car inside it ??

[QUOTE=But what is that car inside it ??[/QUOTE]

No Idea, but i can tell it's an uncomfortable ride. It's got elliptical/oval wheels:confused:

more importantly, WHAT is the guy next to the car doing? He appears to be leaning at a 45 degree angle.
Retrorick
somewhere between Kansas city and Indianapolis

Lots of catching up to do here. Where to start....

First, congratulations to Tom Pabst on the nice segment on his driving simulator that Speed ran during the Sears Point Rolex Grand -Am race. And congratulations to Alex gurney and Jon Fogarty for winning the championship at Miller. Tom, I will have more Riverside pics for you soon.

The Bob's meet looked like fun, I liked the Lotus 47 I spotted in one photo. I always wanted one but I would never fit. The Tucker is, and isn't, real, depending on how you look at it. It is a true steel Tucker built at the factory but was never finished. It was bought unfinished after the shut down and fitted to an Olds chassis, engine in front. It was later fitted with a 390 Mercury engine.

Dave, I remember helping you guys pull the engine out of the Cobra when you guys first got it. I remember very well the nice curve the weight of the engine made in the arm of the cherry picker as we maneuvered that huge 427 iron lump over the lovely bare aluminum nose. I had these visions of the arm buckling and the engine just squashing that nose like a bug. Uhhhhhh, still makes me shiver.

I was at the PV Concours last week and didn't realize Jimi was there with a car. I just didn't read the info cards in front of the cars or the program until I got home. Pretty good show though, the area was kind of small but a good selection of cars. Not Pebble Beach but that's not a bad thing either.

That car in the photo of the stilt house kind of looks like a Hillman Minx convertible. When was the last time you saw one of those?

Mr. Banning, if you would like some info about the TVL group I'll be happy to help.

Ciao babies!

Kurt O.

Actually its a crime in progress. The guy leaning over like Groucho is carrying the lower torso of the person on the swing. Just kidding. I would guess the guy is a framer and lugging a nail bag? The car is the first and last Mulholland Metropolitan!

Thanks Kurt, I appreciate that. I only was able to get info from Jeff Coleman about the TVL. I will pm you soon with my email address. We need to have more complete information about the TVL and the groups preceeding them like the CRE and the MRA.

Also, Jeremy might be able to get me in touch with his brother Tony who was also in the TVL. What do you say Jeremy? Tell Tony that I rarely talk to Brad anymore and I try not to pick sides when it comes to friends. Thanks. ;)

wow... seems i've missed a lot of stuff in the last couple of weeks. i'll be back in town early next week chock full of stories about the belgian gp, driving the nurburgring, and doing handbrake turns down (very) steep switchbacks on greek islands. i can't wait to catch up with you guys.

Can't wait to hear all about it!
You missed Radu trying out his new SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT on Mul tonight. I'm right on his tail.
