What a rush...

Have plenty of images from the front, off to the side. This is the only way to get ground level shots. With where I stand, about 70' from the tree I am at risk for damn near anything. I understand the risks...
I am actually behind the concrete barrier. May not look like it because of the angle the photographer was at. I was completely behind the barrier, with the camera aimed at the pre stage beam....


Any time you are near the starting line, you have high risk. That's why it's so fun to be there. Plus, it's the best place to watch a car if you actually want to see what is happening.
