thanks gus! since it was so cloudy that day, i could not get a very fast shutter speed off and they turned out kind of grainy due to having to shoot at 800 iso to get an shutter speed around 1/250th of a second @ f/5.6

you actually don't want a fast shutter speed. pan with the car using a slower shutter speed (<1/160 depending on the speed of the car). fast shutter speed is only good for stopping the action when you need it. speaking of which, what focal lengths are those?

short and stout

i was using a new lens (tamron 28-200), i could not pan with the car (i wish) i have a $20 dollar qauntaray tripod that i am using right now, and the head is a POS and could barely hold the lens :/. anyways i was at 1/250th, f/5.6, iso 800. the lighting conditions sucked (cloudy, then all of a sudden sunny) on top of that it was windy and it was really blowing on the grand stands above turn 2/3.
