Thanks for all of the great comments, folks. There have been so many I'd be here the rest of the night thanking everyone individually, so here's a collective "thanks" to all of you. :-) In response to Jon, yep, we're going to VIR this weekend to run a CCPS race in the RX-7. If we don't get a finish, we'll have to run the ARRC and get a finish there. Thanks for spotting the stuck pixel, Boris. Keith: "shutter speed was only 1/250 and even the front wheel label (?) BREMBO is perfectly readable ~ not blurred!" -- that's the hard part of doing those shots :-) It was also the 300/4.5 mounted on the *ist D. That's why I think SR could really help on the vertical shaking. The first couple of days I forgot my monopod and had to hand hold the 400/5.6 on the *ist D. Amazingly, I got a couple of usable shots that way. As to the Audi R-10, yep, it's hotter than heck. And amazingly quiet. The other cars would roar by, and the R-10s almost "whooshed". And really fast when the conditions came to them, or maybe went away from the others. At one point near dusk, the first place R-10 was pulling 6 seconds a lap on the second place one, who was pulling 6 seconds a lap on the field. They were lapping faster than 1m 15s per lap. The lap record, set in an F1 car in a vintage race recently, is right at 1:10. Ok, this is a different photo from the same event (the Petit le Mans). I'll pull that one out and do it in smaller versions later. For now, here are some more "desktop friendly" (cropped) sizes of another one that I really liked.
