And you know John Hall who was the technical advisor for the filiming of King of the Mountain, also a very fast regular on the hill. John was my best-man at my wedding and a best friend for 30 years. He was there at Griffith Park at the location shoots with you and Buddy Joe Hooker.

You're right that there was'nt a lot of Porsche racers that were really fast, more fast V8 power was available. I love the feel of a V8 under load myself, there's nothing like it.

You mentioned Bobby Carradine, he contributed to the book, The Mulholland Experience. It was sure nice to see him and get his story one day in Beverly Hills, Governer Arnold was at a nearby table and there was lots of dudes in suits standing around. Bobby was an ACR member along with most of my best friends. I had fun spanking him one evening in my Carrera. He was one of the fastest on Mulholland with his built Corvette.

You also mentioned Johnny Rozner, if that's his real name by the way. He challenged me to a race at sunset after the Eye on LA Mulholland special. He had been going around saying that the king of hill is over the hill, etc. And that was in 1982, about 26 years ago. Poor fellow, after pulling him so bad that I had time to get out of my car and wait for him at Benedict, he never showed up on the hill again. Sorry about that Johnny.

I have to interview you for the second edition, please. I have looked for you in the past, but could not find you. Thanks much for posting, Banning

Good story Chris. Rosner had a wicked black 930 with 934 cams. Didn't idle real well. Dave B can give us more info on that. I have a picture of it at Riverside someplace.

I saw that 510 at Neelys shop one day. It's a beautiful piece of work.
