  So I'm the guy that started the Pelican Parts Mulholland thread.  I want to thank you for this video.  It's really hard to explain what an impact the thread, Mulholland Dr, and Banning have had on my life and my car builds.  Chris is an extremely nice and interesting guy, and it's been an honor to call him a friend for so many years now.  And yes, I've ridden in "The RSR" a few times.  It's a beast.

  I used to race Mulholland back in the early 70&apos;s in my dad&apos;s 66 dodge dart slant 6., at least one hub cap would always pop off. Happy to have survived the stupidity of being an invincible teenager .

  That’s so cool of Chris to talk to you directly on the phone about all the stories of mulholland. I had thought during the entire video that thevoice clips were from some kind of old interview you found. I love the “uh oh!” he would make when describing the stories lmao

  Street racing on Mulholland mostly ended in the 80&apos;s after they started paving in the view spots and banning parking at night. &nbsp;In the early 80&apos;s my friends and I raced our RD350&apos;s and 400&apos;s up there as well as our cars. &nbsp;A lot of friends had Datsun 510&apos;s and Rotary Mazda trucks or Capri&apos;s. &nbsp;There was a spot known as &quot;Grandstands&quot; between Coldwater and Laurel Canyon where I did witness a friend die after he struck a truck that was pulling out of the parking area. &nbsp;People from Hollywood mostly went up their in lower budget cars and the people from The Valley usually had the nicer cars. &nbsp;It was actually better to race at night because you could see headlights coming around the corners and knew when you could or couldn&apos;t use the entire road. &nbsp;I&apos;m sure the residents up there hated us back then. &nbsp;Now there are tons more potholes than turns so all you want to do now is cruise and not go too fast. &nbsp;P.S. &nbsp;I wonder if Chuck they mention here is the same Chuck that I raced a few times. &nbsp;He had a green early &apos;70&apos;s Javelin and I had a white &apos;68 Caprice with wide wheels but, otherwise stock.

  It&apos;s crazy to think that the U.S. had a mountain pass racing scene like Japan&apos;s togue scene
