GENERAL RULES:

1. Please make sure that the “Website URL” link you provide to your work contains samples that we can review. They don’t have to be of drifting, but we need to make sure you have semi-professional equipment and knowledge of photography our video. We do not let anyone onto the track, and to be able to provide you with credentials we’ll need to see a sample of your work. Please do not link to forums.
2. Your credentials can be suspended or revoked at any time if any of the below rules are broken.
3. Long pants and close toed shoes are required on track and in the pits at all times.
4. In return for a media pass entry and on-track access, we ask that you abide by the following rules in order to keep the program safe and successful:

On-Track

1. Media Pass- different media wristband together with other wristband and media vest MUST be displayed at all times while on site.
2. You are required to attend the Media Meeting BEFORE the track goes hot (Usually happens around the same time as the drivers meeting, 30 minutes after the gates open). Failure to attend this meeting will result in no track access for the day

5. Never cross the track unless you have been cleared to do so by a corner worker, or an official. We ask media to time their movements to not delay the on track action. Usually the best time to ask to cross is during a run-group change. When in doubt, ask a staff member!
6. Do not approach on-track wrecks, ever. Emergency personnel are moving to and from accidents and we need anyone non-essential to the driver(s) well-being out of the way.
