Due to the nature of these events please adhere to these simple safety practices:

1) Make sure of your placement and the placement of photographers around you. Always leave yourself an escape route, in case of rollovers.

2) Make sure you are not blocking a fellow photographers escape route, because of your position.

3) Make sure you are using the longest focal length lens possible for your coverage. This will
Prevent other photographers from taking pictures of the back of your head all day. It will also
Allow you the added safety of more distance from a rolling vehicle.

Photography or video image!
