#1 is the best pan of the series imho. You can clearly see the driver and you can read the graphics on the side of the car.

#2 - too blurry

#3 Wrong focus area - the front fender is in focus while the driver is all blurry. The actual panning looks good though

It looks like you have a compound issue here.
not only the lateral movement but the shifting of the car in the slide, I wonder if that was what messed up the focus on #3
I think #1 is probably the best but I like #2 the best.

What are some of your settings? Where do you shoot at?

on the ones I posted here I was shooting around 1/40th 1/50th up to 1/100th I almost never shoot above 1/125th and never above 1/200th. I shoot in North Georgia. Our LLM are running mid- high 16 second laps and SLM are low 16 sec. on 3/8 mile track. It's not the fastest times but we get alot of 3 wide racing and almost everyone is running within 1 to 2 seconds of each other

1/40 seems mighty slow to me. I shoot at 1/80-1/100 and get plenty of wheel and background blur. Also, we don't have SLM and it's only a 1/4 dry slick track so the cars aren't going nowhere near as fast.

Check out this thread to see what I mean.

I think that if you bumped up your SS a tick it would help eliminate some hand shake and you'll get more keepers.
