After blowing dust off the glass, I just breath on it and wipe carefully in a circular motion from the center out.

I was taught similarly EXCEPT to hold the lens overhead and to breathe upwards so to eliminate the possibility of getting spit on the lens.

I worked in a motorcycle shop as a teenager. Got a lot of use out of the "dammit" tool.

Good action (and expression) shots and as usual great exposure.

Congratulations! You definitely have a reason to brag.

Excellent focus and exposures. You are doing a superb job. I especially like the one of quarterback.

I have the 70-300 and think that you will really like it. It focuses fast and is very sharp and with it's light weight is easy to follow moving subjects. I haven't seen a lab test but when one comes out I think it will surprise everyone.

Thanks for the feedback great advice I Have dust issues also after the first lap have you tried any of the external battery sources to speed up recovery of flash time?
No, I haven't. When using the flash I usually have a specific car or group in mind. I shoot in burst mode so often the second shot (all ambient light) looks better. The track lighting is not that bad in three areas. A lap takes about 13 seconds so recycle time is not much of a problem. The flash gets the most use for the trophy presentations. I used to shoot the races for the use by he newspaper. I now shoot for my own fun. I enjoy the race atmosphere.

I also prefer to stand further back to facilitate smoother panning (avoid jerking). It is easier to leave more background and crop to improve the composition as needed.

I like to shoot stock car racing on a dirt track. Because of the dust in the air I seldom use flash. I have a Nikon SB900 flash that I use at the few times that the dust is absent. I prefer to raise the iso and adjust the white balance as needed. I shoot in shutter priority and seldom exceed 160th of a second.

Because the moon is illuminated by the sun you need to use a daytime exposure. Handholding should not be major problem. Start out with an aperture of f16, shutter speed 1/400 and iso of 400. Tweeking may be necessary to adjust the exposure. A longer lens would require higher iso and faster shutter speed.

That said, I see the D500 as THE camera but I'm hesitating because it has a LOT of features that I would probably never use such as the two slots and the available power pack, but then again, who knows?.
When I purchased my D500 it was sold with the power grip which I felt was not needed but soon discovered that it uses much more battery than my D7100 does. Glad now that I have it.
