you may have to distance yourself with the other car as 50mm is a tad bit of a zoom. but it makes one hell of a sharp image. use it w/ the lens hood. dont bother w/ the flash and if possible set it for 800-1600 iso setting. its not as crisp, but damn fast quick images.
you dont want quick.

this was shot with a 80 shutter speed IIRC, ISO 200.

setting the aperture that low (if you even have a lens capable of that) should make for a high shutter speed, and it would freeze the image.

use shutter priority, set it to 60-100 depending on the focal length/lighting, use ISO 200. and fire away.

i pretty much use the same exposure set up as when im doing panning shots, when i do roling shots.

too high of a shutter speed, and you wont get the effect you want.

these were both shot at 80 SS:

Nice man, thanks for the tips!

BTW, those were the shots I was thinking of, but I thought they were John's...

Maybe I'll head out to the Wednesday drags this week to try this out.
