The snow covered hills remind me of the background view of the staging area at Pomona for the Winternationals :D . Well Winternats had that view before they moved them to end of March :rolleyes: Snow might be iffy this time
Them's are mountains boy! lol j/k:poke:
Yeah, RMR wasn't quite as high as Bandimere Raceway which was about 5800ft above sea level.
But RMR was still high enough at roughly 4300 Ft elevation to cause issues for those who weren't very familiar to carb tuning. Had to help a few out-of-towners in the past tuning their cars.
Had one of the younger Airmen in my unit complain to me after I tuned his 1977 Bronco which had an Eddy AVS carb, he said it ran like crap when he took it off-road and said "I thought you knew how to tune carbs?"
I said, "where'd you go?"
"I took the service roads up that mountain that had that building on the top."
"That's Francis Peak Radar site, it's a NOAA station... You do know that's like roughly 9500 ft elevation right? Remember when I tuned your carb because you're from a town that was only 200 to 400 ft elevation right?"
"Do the math and come back to me, I've been tuning carbs while a part of you was still swimming in your pappy's scrotum."
Then he realized what I was getting at and was quite embarrassed... Well he was a dumbass and got booted out eventually anyways.
I also found out he putzed around with it right after I tuned it and made it run a tad rich. So he now went to 9500+ feet with an already rich tune... You just can't fix stupid :BangHead:
