[Cd]

Please, please take your camera/video camera...um cell phone thingee.

I have seen several pictures from the salt flats that get salt on the lens. Perhaps you could bring a roll of crystal clear packing tape, and cover the lens.
They make some that is much more clear than normal tape. ( Just remember to dog-ear the end, because you will never find the end if you don't ! )

By having a small piece of tape on the lens, you could simply wipe any salt off the lens without worry of scratches.

Looking forward to the pics !

While you are there, could you also please ask why it is that everyone concentrates on the front of the car, versus the rear of the car ?

For example, I recall seeing at least 2-3 cars which had a sealed front that was pointed and had wheel skirts on the FRONT of the car, but none on the rear.
Boat tails are as rare as the do-do bird. From what i have read, it may have something to do with the rules. can you please ask ?

And just for the nerds like me, please ask if the car you are photographing has been tested for a Cd figure ?
I always love o find out the Cd figure on those cars.

Thanks ! Wish I could be there.

One more thing : I looked up El Mirage and I am seeing pictures of both a salt flat and a dry lakebed that is dirt. I guess the main thing to worry about there is dust , vs salt.
