Porsche Crest Petersen Museum 2nd Interview

On one of the 3 runs we did I was able to make a competitive run from Deadmans to Grandstands. This shook up my passenger who was not prepared for this excitement. When we were done he was pale and shaking pretty badly after which I apologized to him, but he seemed grateful for the experience. I also said that I was sorry that I could not go faster due to all the traffic and not being used to the Car that I was driving. I never exceeded 80mph.



We got some incredible footage and sounds from the red-line shifts and sliding around thru Carls and Carls Junior. I only made 2 Car-passes and only got 2 people that flipped me off when I was turning around at Coldwater. I smiled, waived, and said sorry to them.



This is no longer the 70's or 80's and there is too much traffic on Mulholland now.
It is too dangerous and irresponsible to drive like this and it will be the last time that I participate in this kind of driving in the Racecourse. The Petersen deserved this video footage for the sake of posterity while it was still possible.






I did cross over the double-yellow a little bit a few times much to the shragrin of my passenger.



It turned out to be a wonderful day and I'm grateful for this "Mulholland Experience".
