Mulholland was like a fast undulating snake course, so your corner weight spring rates and shocks were crucial. Some sections were just pure fast! It wasn't practical to try to close the road, so you lived with civilians on the course. The racing I remember was you had to try to hook up with the group. Maybe pass them a few times or caught and talk to them at the gas station down the hill. Then the group would be mobile all night, on the move constantly. They would go down the hill and let the place cool off, then organize and set back up for some member runs and then leave again, going back down the hill. It wasn't like they sat in a turnout the entire night! That made them too much of a target. Once they knew your Car and took a run you were trusted. Getting that first invite was very difficult, because they were rightfully paranoid about police.

The roads out Malibu way were more secluded, but a lot of those were tighter courses and not as high speed. Thus acceleration and braking were more important on most of those roads and sheer suspension capability was what was needed on Mulholland and tires.

I can go on, but I am at work! Logging off! Lastly, if you go to Turnbull, just don't do anything stupid there! Nothing has changed in over 35 years! Same road, same turns. One group wrote up a negative review of that road being so short to tour on. Yes the Raceway section is 2.1 miles which is about the same length as a lot of our racetracks around the Country. Thus you have to look at it as a racetrack and not some pleasure tour run location. The other side is full of blind driveways and the road is narrow, and you get a lot of cars on the road and the Fire House will call in the cops on you. Thus don't be stupid after you crest the top of the hill going east.

In the modern day, the police are always up there and with plain unmarked cars impounding! Thus take that into consideration, and they are very good at getting you!
