I have never met a "Fast Driver" that had to tell me he was fast. The more bragging the less talent.... I.M.H.O
I met Ayrton Senna in 1990. Funny that during our conversation he never had to tell me how fast he was or what a good driver he was....lol
Personally i could careless, How Ronin drives on Mul.
But, it's only a matter of time before he goes off the mountain, takes a life or loses his own.. That is just the reality of running the mountain.
There is a long list of guys that thought they were fast up there, and their only legacy on Mul is how much Blood, Paint and car parts they have left on the Mountain...
Mul claims "FAST GUYS" on a regular basis....
If your lucky you'll just get a trip to the hospital, If not a "free" toe tag.
I wish Ronin nothing but luck, because the odds are in Mul's favor.

That's very nice of you to say my friend but the real Legend of Mulholland is Charley Woit.
I'm just riding on his 427 Side Pipes.
,
Without Charley as an inspiration I can gaurantee that no "Mulholland Carrera" like this thread address' would have been built.
Because of growing up very near Mulholland with a view east all the way to Deadmans, and a view west past Beverly Glen, I was afforded the good fortune of hearing most of Charley's early runs in his Vette. Laying in bed many nights I would hear a distant thunder
The sound would get louder and louder with crazy rpm changes that sounded like aggressive growls from some Beast.
Gradually the echoing thunder would get quiet. After maybe 3 minutes it would begin to come back again just as it had before.
Again getting quiet after tremendous impressive noises on the ridges of Mul.
Imagine how I felt the first time seeing and hearing this Vette in person, talk about a deja vu.
I had a 1973 911S and thought I was god's gift to Mulholland by this time. Boy was I a Turkey.
One night while I was passing Grandstands going west, with no warning...an old grey pickup with no lights passed me!
My jaw must have dropped to the floor mats as I said to Bruce (the guy in the photo, Porsche in liv. room), WTF!!!
I am witness to Charley's driving as I was right behind him and I swear to you NO stunt man could do what Charley did. I am amazed to this day how, in controlled drifts from right shoulder to left shoulder under full throttle he would go, with a beer can out the window just as legend has it.
That evening I knew that in a race against his Vette I would be the big, big, Loser. Might as well take up knitting.
Hence the reason for selling the 911S and creating something more competitive.
So from my point of view...Charley was the Legend and remains so.
I just wish he were still here with us.
