I took these July 4th in Alexandria, MN at Viking Speedway (http://www.vikingspeedway.net/). I had just gotten my 1DMkIIN in the mail the day before and this was my first attempt at auto racing and panning. Actually did better than I though I would, but still have lots of room for improvement. All shot at 1/125s, as that seemed to be about my panning limit.

Corey Crapser (http://www.crapserracing.com/) 2007 Wissota Street Stock National Champion. This is his rookie year racing Wissota Modifieds. He finished 4th in the heat race here after starting 8th, but had a rough feature. Had a few beers with him and his crew after the races, heck of a nice kid.

These weren't my best of the evening, but I am related to this driver. His name is Thad Jensen, and this is his first year back racing after spending the last 10 or so years in the pits.

I am going to get a poster made out of one of the 3 above shots for Thad, but would like some input on what to do with them. C&C much appreciated.

Not bad work through the fence.

You did a good job avoiding getting the vertical lines in the middle of the car, but i still find it distracting with the fence.

Thank you

Actually, did a bit of spray and pray here. ;)

Some of my best pans had the darn fence posts right through the cab. :( These were some of the better ones.

Thanks for the comments guys.

If you guys were to get one of the last 3 printed, which one would it be? I'm leaning towards 3. These are all uncropped, so I do have some room to crop them.
