Great pics Mike! Didn't realize Lombard St is closed to traffic now. Glad I got to cruise if a few times. In the early 90s I rode my Yamaha FJ 1200 up HWY 1 to the motorcycle GP races at

 

Laguna Seca and spent a lot of time at that vantage point of the Cork Screw. I remember watching John Kocinski (250cc GP champ that year) go down it doing a wheelie the entire way. Left turn-right turn with the front

wheel never touching the ground! Also remember watching Dan Gurney go through it in a Celica pace car full tilt boogie and taking a second at the right turn apex to smile and wave at the fans everytime he went by!
That Lancia has to be the lowest slung thing ever made!
Is that Death Valley shot coming out of Titus Pass? I'm SO overdo for a visit to Death Valley! Thanks for posting those great images!
