Street Racing Mulholland Drive in 1978

Old Charley doesn't come upon the hill to race anymore, but he's the fastest legend on Mulholland Drive because nobody ever conclusively beat him. The kids racing Mulholland now fancy themselves championship drivers and they'll tell you Charley was king of the hill more because of his car than his driving. Charley raced a hellacious 427 Corvette with rear tires as wide as the business end of a steamroller and enough horsepower to haul a freight train. They talk as if all he had to do in that car was put his foot down and steer.

Legend has Charley blasting through turns with the tires smoking and the rear end dancing and grabbing for pavement so hard it practically ripped up the asphalt. Old Charley, they say, drove with one hand on the wheel and the other around a beer can, a real gee-aw leadfoot cowboy arm-wrestling his car around the circuit and tossing empties behind him.

Charley began racing Mulholland about 1960 in a modified '51 GMC pickup. The fun then was running Sunset Boulevard sports in their Jaguars, MGs, Corvettes and Porsches, and rubbing their noses in the shame of losing to a maniac in a truck. Charley moved to more sophisticated racing equipment — a '55 Ford station wagon, Hillman Minx, another truck and several other unlikely racers before the Corvette.

Mulholland racing is so dangerous one might compare it to a children's game of cowboys and Indians played with real guns and live ammo. For reasons nobody understands, none of the serious racers have been killed and few have been badly hurt, despite dozens of horrendous crashes over the years. Charley wears a scar from an end-over in the pickup truck and came close to passing away after a head-on collision in a blind turn.

Charley wouldn't want to race most of the kids up there now because they drive minor-league stuff like Capris, trick Volkswagens, Datsuns and Toyotas. He'd want to run Chris, the current king of the hill.

Chris is a serious, intellectual type who lives near Mulholland and built his own racer after deciding that the fastest production Porsche wasn't fast enough to make him king of Mulholland. With advice and consultation from the Porsche Works in Weissach, Germany, where he laid out $25,000 for competition parts, Chris turned a 1973 Porsche Carrera into a 165-mph racecar.

If Chris and Charley drove a match race, it would be on a stretch between Coldwater Canyon and Skyline Drive with 11 sets of turns and a pit area called Grandstands. That 1.8-mile stretch has been a Gaza Strip in a continuing skirmish between street racers and the forces of law and order since about 1960. In the daytime and early evening it's just another segment of Mulholland Drive, a luxuriously scenic hilltop road that winds from Hollywood through West Los Angeles to the Santa Monica Mountains. On certain nights in racing season it becomes occupied territory for all-out racing from around 11 p.m. to 1 or 2 a.m. The turns are numbered and named after legends from past eras and the course is visible from Grandstands, the staging and parking area for racers, spectators and friends.
