Thanks. Takes a little practice to get the timing down.
I'm not going to the race (too expensive) but I'll be watching

You'd never know it....they look like they are parked.

Next time you might want to use a panning technique with a slower shutter speed to show some movement.

Yup, but got a speeding penalty for speeding coming into the pits in the Duel 150.

Boy your camera takes good pictures. :lol:
Honest that's a joke.
Wow is all I can say. I have been to Daytona and 2 other tracks but never got pics like these.
Looking forward to more after the race.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks, I got about 120 shots for the day. But sorry I'm not going to the race. Too crowded to photograph and waaaaayyy to expensive! This is the 5th year of shooting the practice session and the method and settings I use have proven to yield the bets results.
