I managed to go back to the track on Saturday, but had to leave a couple of hours into the race for other stuff. So the images are only covering between 16.00 and 18.00. The selection for here are the ones to which I've added a title.

The rest of the images can be found in my dedicated set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/guido132/sets/72157606486391228/

The set also included the images from the Thursday evening training. Also here I have a thread about those: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=546274

Thanks, it's one of those "have-to-try-10-times-to-actually-capture-it" type of images, but I'm happy I finally managed it. :)

nice work, but a few of them look a bit soft to me.

Yes, you're right about that. But given that I'm still using my standard 75-300 kit lens and that most images where taken through holes in the fence where you get 10 to 15 mins until the next one would like to have a go, I'm relatively happy with them.

Just hoping that this issue would be solved with a 70-200 2.8, whenever I can have enough fundings available to get one.
