Do a Google search for "Mulholland Racing" and see what comes up.

Local authorities and the turn of attitudes against street racing have since combined with overpopulation and thick traffic to effectively strangle away all the race activity, but the stories - particularly of the Chris Banning choptop Porsche RSR pictured above - live on, both in Banning’s recent book, “The Mulholland Experience,” and in a thread over at the Pelican Parts Porsche forum. A sample:
Charlie (RIP) was indeed pretty crazy. The more he drank, the faster he would drive- it was the weirdest NON - M.A.D.D. thing one could think of.
I had a mini cooper S with radials and was having some fun up there in the rain. Fancying myself as Paddy Hopkirk, another friend in his built up 510 (also on radials ) we’re having a great time. Out of nowhere we hear what sounded like the entire A Production grid at Riverside raceway. Yep, Charlie was on straight pipes and making a run…. on 13″ wide slicks no less. Uh, he went by us like we were tied to the proverbial pole. And even with some well timed drifts and more aggressive driving we were left in about 4 turns worth of road… in the rain.
The thread’s going strong at about 72 pages, and it’s not just about Porsches going up and down Mulholland. Makes for an entertaining read.
72 pages? That was a awhile ago. lol
