    Nice work. Good motion blur focus looks ok. However, they all look like they
    have a haze of sorts.

    Hope you don't mind, but I did a quick adjustment on one of your photos... simply set both the "black point" and "white point" using Curves, then upped the saturation by 6% and the contrast by 5%. Gets rid of the "milky" look. The composition looks good to me. I'm learning to do this myself and know how hard it is to get "keepers"! Keep up the good work!

    The pics are great!

    The adjustments make them even better!

    The one I liked the most is #4 because you can see the other racer coming behind, the sense of speed is great in every pic, but in this one is even greater!
