If anyone is writing a book about the hill, hit me up. Got lots of stories that the book barely touched on.
Finally graduated from my 73 AMC Javlin, the green one with the black stripe, and the blue 76 camero, to an 85 vette. We dont have as many good roads like there is in LA but I was able to get it up to 140mph over here.
Aloha, Chuck

Hi Chuck, good to see you here and happy that you are still happy and healthy.
I don't run into Gary much but I speak to him I'll say hi for you.
For those of you who don't know who Chuck is: he was the last man standing at Grandstands after the Cops scared everyone else off the Hill. Chuck refused to allow the Cops to cramp his style. They just kept inpounding his Car every night and he would go immediatly and pick it up at the impound yard. They knew he was coming right back to get it so they left it outside the yard. Then he would just go back up to Muholland again. He hung out there long after the crowds and racers left. He was the Die Hard of all Die Hards. He is also infamous for his techniques to get out of a Pursuit. While being chased by lights and siren he would tell his date to get naked and hop into the back seat, then he would pull over to the side of the road and jump into the back seat and take his shirt off. The Cops would approach his Car and see 2 people in the back seat semi naked. So when it came to court and the officer was asked what he witnessed at the time of pulling over Chucks Car, he would say he saw 2 people in the back seat engaged in a sex act. The Judge would throw the case out every time.
Talk about innovative, wow, that's so creative to escape a bad traffic violation.
I've always been very impressed with this particular story. In my opinion these stories and others makes Chuck a major Mulholland Persona like many others in the MRA, CRE, TVL, ACR, CR, ACRA, plus a few other Rogues outside of the groups.
