I found this thread through a friend that I shared the story on Bannings 911 in Inside Line with. He in turn said I found a 300+ page thread on the glory days of racing on Mulholland. I have now read this thread from beginning to end and it has got to be one of the greatest things I have found on the internet. I have been running canyons since i got my license in 1990. i used to tear through Mulholland Hwy in my dads 90 3/4 ton 4x4 GMC as fast as i could chasing everything that would try to get away. It was fun running down VW's, Hondas, even the occasional Ferrari and Porsche in that truck. It was also a blast taking first timers for rides down the section by the Rock Store. Not much is more eye opening than a 5000lb truck in a 40mph 4 wheel drift. My dad used to wonder how I went through brakes and tires so fast... My record was 3500 miles on a set of front pads. I started racing friends on the roads in the Santa Monica Mountains when I got my first water-cooled VW, then switched to Glendora Mountain Road to teach some of the ricers a lesson or two. My friend and I used to go up to GMR in his F150 Lightning for a good laugh. That is a story for another time. I was wondering do you guys still get together at Bob's on Friday nights? Or meet anywhere else? I would love to get to know some more fellow gear heads. I can never get enough of talking about cars.
