Im thinking about going to the drag boat races in Marble Falls Texas this weekend and was looking for some tips on shooting, camera settings, best lens, ...etc. And is anyone else going?

Thanks in advance

The longer the lens, the better. Powerboat images:

As always, the best "setting" is the ability to keep rapidly moving subjects in frame. Experienced photographers with a steady hand may try the slow shutter speed panning method to introduce motion blur into the images.
