Cool video..... Love the pass on the bike....

Thats a 510 your doing? Right?

Lots of climbers love to drive really fast, Warren Harding raced cars for a while.

Kris loves Porsches and is pretty fun to ride with, because if he spins, you get to take over..... Wink

Shortimer..... has about 13 points on his drivers license ... he is good in a curve, and is one of the few drivers I know who is really fast and smooth.

I can ride with these guys and relax while they are at the wheel.

Late. Wink

It's all about being smooth.

Taco........ so it's a 1979 Corolla?

Can you dodge the smog deal with that?

Fastest Jap shit box ever was the Mazda RX2...........

The first time I ever ran into one of those was right after I moved to California, 1973, I had a 69 AMX with a 390 plus headers, Cam, Holly, Distributor, Gears etc.... The Van Nuys scene was still going on.... Wink

anyway, line up next to one of those, and BAM, BAM, BAM I look over after hitting 3rd and he is still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked

anyway in 1981 I got a gig working for an IMSA team, they had a RX2..... so did the rest of the field because that little car is wicked fast and light.

So fast, that IMSA banned the RX2 from from the class.... That is the only time I have ever seen a car banned from a class, so they could save the class. Cool

So you ever do track days?

No cops, no oncoming traffic, lots of run off room, and a waiting ambulance. You can really start to get crazy. Wink

Taco.......

Back in the day, Mulholand Dr. was the "race track". Hard to believe it now. You could hang around Van Nuys and watch chicks and cars at the various eating spots. But after like 12 pm the action was up at the "grand stands" up by Laurel Canyon. Lots of very serious cars, some even got towed on trailers. My friend had a 1969 911RSR, the thing idled at 4,000 rpm and would overheat if you drove it in regular traffic. The 2, three barrel carbs made so much noise you needed ear plugs.

but

The all time champion, was a dude who had a "Super 7" with a 13b in it.....

But no street racing anymore, I hear that if they catch ya racin, they crush your car Shocked

That's not so bad. One of these days, at the rate we're going, if they catch you climbing they'll crush your nuts. Shocked

My buddy lives up on Mullholland. No fun left there!

There's a local turn that does the government's job of crushing cars for them.

That turn is frightening when you're suddenly upside down, and still going forward. (Not my car in the pic...)

Don't worry about the whole let's-ban-fun thing. Kids in the future won't do anything fun or dangerous. No risks will be taken. Shooting and racing video games will be a thing of the past, replaced with hugging video games (which will be banned, as physical contact is a no-no). Completely safe!

...and told stories of great Llamas of yesteryear who fought the oppressive free people's fun brigade using non-violent tactics and soft plastic cups of warm milk.
