Wow, very nice!
I especially like the shot of the WRX reflecting in the water puddle.

Care to share any of your techniques? Your image data was showing 1/90 second shutter speed and a 250mm lens. Panning on a monopod or by hand (even for the 1/30 sec shot)?

Thanks for sharing these photos, very impressive!

Thanx for the compliments guys.

All shots were handheld using my 100-300mm Sigma Lens on my 350D. Basically shooting anywhere from 1/30-1/125 depending on lighting and how crazy i wanted to get with the pan.

Of course to get that one 1/30 pan it took about 6 shots in burst.

The go-kart had lowest overall time, right? Even with a 125cc Yamaha.

Nice work with the puddle of water. I love the Elise pic. What camera were you using and if you don't mind sharing what settings. A MINI in front of that puddle would be a natural for the contest this month.

Probably, especially if he got a clean run. Those things are just crazy fast. Constantly sliding all over the place though.

Here are the results from the event

Thanx! I use a 350D (Digi-Rebel) with a Sigma 100-300mm lens(saving up for 70-200 L glass). I don't have the exif data in front of me (at work) but i think it was ISO200 (damn lens) and shutter speed around 1/100.

I think i may have a MINI with the puddle....
