3,4,5 & 6 are my favs - but the panning shots at the end are great too. The first one - the truck in the b/g is distracting - but thats just being picky! Overall, Great post!

Thanks, it was a battle with those trucks in the back of that turn, but in that shot I can't really crop too much. I guess I can clone it out.
Did you notice that there is something wrong in #2?
It's great you are lucky!!! After getting hit at the local MX track I've finally figured out how to solve the problem of getting toooo close to the track! I'm going to put a 2X TC on the Mt. Wilson telescope. That way I can shoot every MX & off road race is SOCAL with some degree of safety.... Been chased by the wayward wheel/vehicle in Baja. Makes for a great adrenalin/reflex check.

I've gotten pretty close to getting hit a few times over the years. At this track this is a pretty slow section, and this race day was a smaller series so there was only a couple of pro drivers that came for the seat time. So there wasn't any real speed to side by side racing with bumping. If there was pro trucks out there I wouldn't be shooting at the end of this rhythm section.

Not really, the tire rolled to a stop at me feet. That could have been ugly if he was in a faster section of the track.
