Take Photographs Before
a Sporting Event
When athletes prepare for competition, they perform time-honored rituals.
For example, marathon runners stretch and then loosen up by jogging. At
an automobile race, race cars are prepared in the paddock, while the drivers
prepare their equipment and don fireproof clothing. Capture photos of the
drivers in their cars as they drive out of the pits to the starting grid, as shown
