    Doug,(Mazooma1) has been doing his "magic" for a few years (decades), and being a professional photographer, he does REALLY know how to take pictures!;)

    It's good to see the "Crippled R Racing" guys made it out there. The Company I work for did the cabinetry in the race trailer before Bonneville last year. Her tossed a rod out on the salt, but said he would be back after it this year.

    Mazooma, your shots are great. It is a tough shoot out there , just wondering what camera and lens you are using? Sorry to geek out on you.
    Thanks

    It's cool to see the Berg/McCallister/Robinson roadster. Doug certainly lives up to his reputation as a 'rocket scientist'. The roadster, for those not in the know, is what evolutionary design brings to dry lakes racing, as well as Doug's wind tunnel on wheels where he tinkers with the envelope. Thanks for showing us what was going on up there. El Mirage is one hell of a place. I can just taste the mud that the dust turn into in your mouth, nose, and eyes.
