BOMBSHELL at El Mirage
« on: October 24, 2011, 08:47:37 AM »
Looks like I will get to experience El Mirage for the first time.
ROCKET HEADS are pushing hard to get the BOMBSHELL BUICK to the November 12th season final.
 
Any key advise on car set up differences or tuning / elevation difs, from Bonneville?
Are some sort of air filters advised?

Thanks,

Jeff Brock

Jeff, elevation is lower at El Mirage. Bonnville is roughly 4220. Here's a link for El Mirage. http://www.airdensityonline.com/trackresults.php?trackname=El%20Mirage%20Dry%20Lake    I'm driving down from Utah for November too. See you there.  :cheers: Wayno

Perhaps a change of rear axle ratio would be advised, the course is only 1.3 miles long.
I run neither air nor salt filters on mine . . .
See you in November, Jeff!

Stainless, those headlights remind me of what my mom used to call a "rodeo" bra -- it rounds 'em up and heads 'em out.

Okay, back to you, Jeff.

Dang Nation...Thanks Nathan, but I have a relatively new MAC, (pre- PC boy) and I cant get any Iphoto, pic file folder or desktop photos to transfer. Do I have to get into an internet photo hosting site?

Thanks .
p.s.  I have some screaming HOT Emily shots to share .

you can attach pics to your post but i prefer to host them online and then link them in.  to do an attachment, in the reply window click on additional options and then go to attach and click on choose file.  you're limited on file size and quantity if you do it this way.

i prefer to use my photobucket.com account for picture hosting.  it's easy and free.  just sign up and then once you sign in click on upload.  once you upload your pics copy the links of the pics you want to post and paste the url in between the {img} tags like i explained before.

you're weren't joking when you said you weren't a computer guy lol.  :-D

oh i'm sure you do.  remember that slim is a little conservative so i'd keep it pg-13 for now.
