200 Dirty Cars at Bondurant
For those of you that don't live in the Phoenix metro area, allow me to enlighten you with what the "Valley of the Sun" bestowed upon us last night: A Haboob.
This dust storm hit about 7:30 last night and rolled through the valley bringing visibility to what seemed to be 100-200 feet. It was followed by a little bit of rain, juuuuust enough to turn that immense layer of dust into mud, but not wash anything off. As you can see, the air is still dusty today. I snapped a few pictures of some of the cars out here, but with nearly 200 vehicles left out in the elements, we have A LOT of cleaning to do.

Wow. That 1st pic is incredible!I was just at Bondurant a few months ago, for the 2 day ZR1 class. Wonderful facility!
Looks like a lot of cleanup work.

I live in Ahwatukee, about 6-7 miles from you guys.
No way in hell you could see 100 feet! I couldn't see my back fence, which is 30 feet from the back door I was looking through. 1/8" of dirt on the patio.
If you need some help "blowing" the dust off those cars - I'm available, and close by
