Is it safe to spectate?
Yes, if you follow the rules. We do have a few tips for you though. Please DO NOT venture off into the forest on your own. If you find your way into an unsafe place, we will be required to stop the rally. Potentially unsafe areas will be marked with signs stating, “No Spectators Beyond This Point” and/or colored banner tape. DO NOT CROSS THE TAPE. A nearby marshal will have maps and instructions to direct you to a safe viewing location.
