Olympus Rally

[BradM]

Spent part of the day yesterday shooting a stage of the Olypmus Rally (a Rally America event) on the Pacific coast of the Olympic peninsula in Washington State.

A few cars would miss the line on the corner I was working, no one rolled but a couple came very close.

And when a car does miss the line all normal bets are off, this National Guard sponsored car running real hot tried the inside line of the corner. One of these stones found its way to meet up with my groin. The bruise looks something like a playboy bunny, not sure what the gf might have to say about it. :o

Great set, love the action :D Also - ouch! Sry to hear about the "bunny" - rally cars and gravel can be hazardous to camera gear and bodyparts. Hey, at least the bruise isn't on the lens glass, right? ;)

Love the rooster tail shot at the end. Rocks + rally are a normal thing haha, have had a few from the WRC cars in previous years, Francois Delecour kicked a rock up and cut the back of my head open slightly...bit of a suprise!

Love #5! I'm curious to see know how the driver pulled out of that one??

All great shots though and I'm sure you're much happier about taking the hit to the nads then the equipment!
