|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board El Mirage dry lake racing... Jon Blacker, Photographer Toronto | ON | Canada | Posted: 2:52 PM on 04.13.09 ->> I am going to be in LA for the second week of June to shoot a number of portraits for a long-term project I'm working on and plan to take a day to head to El Mirage to shoot some racing to wrap up my trip. According to the SCTA there is a race-day on Sunday June 14. I will be driving into El Mirage and back out again on the same day; I won't be staying over night. Can anyone offer information on anything special I need to be aware of beyond water & sunscreen?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Its going to be really HOT in June. Have fun! http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/barstow/mirage.html  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Also leave before it gets dark outside. Trying to find the exit at night might take you an hour as well. One more thing. As you know its pretty dusty, so wrap the gear in something protective- water/food I wish I was shooting at El Mirage!!!!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm going to shoot the racing and everything around it. No lighting will be coming with me to the lake. No digital equipment; I'll be shooting 3 formats of film.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I hope to finally visit this destination next week. It has been on my list for a while and I finally got the day available to venture out.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I will be sporting a giant straw hat with a rz67 and the beard of course if that combo does not draw your attention. Cheers !  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
