So, back in 1983 I was a motor cop with the CHP in Southern California. My Sergeant informed me I would be giving an interview for a new show that was premiering, Eye on Hollywood. I was to discuss the Mulholland street racers, which was really out there since I worked in West LA and our office didn’t cover that area, the West Valley CHP Area did. I did the interview and later watched it at one of our local tow yards. Many years later, I tried to get a copy of the tape but got the run around. I thought it would be cool to show the family. Now I understand the video has been pulled by YouTube, but this group might have ideas as to where I might find one. Let me know, it would be a kick. Thanks much…
