Nice shots. Is that one an S13? I can't tell from this angle.

Nice. Looks like you had a better view than I did. These are from the finals last year eh? Gotta love Kumo's Evo.

/\ nice pics man, your still shots look great! Thanks for the comments everyone. Is there anything that anyone sees that could have been done to make the shots look better?

 

[DSLR noob]

What kind of focal lengths are you guys using. I want to get the 70-200 f/4 L and a 1.4X teleconverter for autocross shots (broad daylight, so not worried about the lens being slow). Love the Rx-7 (I am biased because I own one haha)

Edit: Exif data shows most where 200mm @ 5.6 .................. PERFECT!

I don't want to thread-jack, but since you asked (guys)... The shots I linked were all taken with my Sony DSG-H3 p/s zoom camera. It goes from 35mm to 300mm. I took it in instead of my D70 this time because Irwindale Speedway keeps limiting the view for non-press people. They used to offer "VIP" seating to regular joes (for a fee) that was inside the big fence so you'd have an unobstructed view, but they don't do that anymore. Now, during the actual runs, there's a big fence in the way of the 'regular' people (which you can see in a couple pics), so the big dslr doesn't help much. Also, you'll notice that all of my shots are when the sun is still out. The H3's is a piece of junk in low-light hand-held situations.

edit: I was just looking at exif on my stuff.. I don't know why, but some of the shots that were zoomed out all the way (says 300mm on the lens) only say 63mm on the data.. *shrug*
