This is NOT a Matt Campbell thread, this IS A Photographer/media/in-field worker thread. Tracy has done a great job keeping the general crowd safe at the drift events but we need to implement that energy and concern towards the media & in-field as well. Even though they know the risk involved some changes should be made.

I've said this from the beginning, since the very first event before anything ever happened, and i'll say it again...I'm used to seeing spotters. Just like a corner worker that's basically on the track, a photographer should have their own spotter...someone who is not looking through a viewfinder. Someone who is within arms reach to give warning of any potential danger. There's a big differance between being on the other side of a 2+ foot thick concrete wall or shooting through a chain link fence compared to only being protected by cones & random light poles.

The amount of people in the in-field is not the concern. It's the amount of people who's job is specifically and solely to watch others backs that should to be improved. Someone who's job is to replace cones can not do that 100% and neither can someone looking through a camera lense. I'm requesting for each photographer [or maybe two] to have someone fullfil this position.
