Adɐm Johnson and the team at brockit inc. have been behind the camera lens capturing CopperDog since the very first race way back in 2010!

The commitment, their passion on one side of the lens, our passion on the other, can be seen in every image taken race-weekend and beyond. We call them family and cannot wait to spend the event watching 'the magic' unfold. Thank you, times a million, for all you do for CD. Your support is paramount to our success!

Want proof of the magical magic? The other day Pure Michigan asked us permission to use one of their pieces from 2025 - the one you see below!! Yeah, how about that?

You too can get captured - find your true-self here; .
