I think #1 could have used a faster shutter speed. In my opinion, starting line shots should be sharp. That one has camera/subject motion and not in a particularly good way. The others look fine, although I prefer a horizontal horizon. That's just a matter of personal taste, however. Keep at it, though. You can pan better than I can.

Thanks. After i took that photo i looked at it and thought i should have gone for a higher shutter speed, unfortunately that was the last of the pro drag cars so didn't get another chance to get any more 'take off' photos.

Nice to see some from my local track I very nearly went then decided against it

I would've gone for a faster shutter on the first one, as there's not a lot of forwards motion at that point anyway. Nice work on the panning shots, especially the Golf!

For the supra, I would've either waited or asked the guys if you could get in to take a pic, as you could've done to be around the other side really

See you there at easter for the first meeting?
