I have to admit too Jason, racing photography is one of my favorite subjects also. I like your first pic best. I havent really shot any digital racing, at least not with my DSLR. I havent been to a good race since I got it. I plan on catching the IRL and Nascar Busch series at Narareth PA this year, hoping to put the D60 to the test.
Here is a film shot that I took from the pits a few years ago at the Las Vegas 400 race.

Ive shot RC car racing. My brother has one. Those things go about 50-60. Not an easy thing to do.

I dig motorsports photos too. I prefer drag racing though. Trying to capture a 7000 hp dragster with a digital camera is challenging/frustrating.
This year we caught 2 races (NHRA @Englishtown & Maplegrove)and 3 car shows (Waterfest and a couple of local shows)//groups.msn.com/centralpaatvs/otherphotos.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=156[/url] |

I used to race R/C cars and of course I took pictures also. :)

I'd love to try dragsters also. I tried once but couldn't get next to the wall. :( |

People at work laughed when I told them I raced R/C cars. They had an image of some Radio Shack toy in their head. Once they found out how much the car costs and how fast they were... they stopped laughing.
I raced the "1:8 Scale Open Class".
1/8th scale onroad with .21 nitro engines.

Those are some fantastic photos.
I had never seen an R/C race in my life. A track just opened up right down the street from my house, so I checked it out. It was amazing how fast those cars were. And the guys were very seriuos about their hobbey and very competitive. Was alot of fun just to watch. |

yeah, people think that of my brother. He puts ALL his money into that, which isnt very much. He races 1:10 scale with a .12 engine.

RC Cars are a blast. The offroad ones are cool too. They use a lot of the same technologies as the full size race cars, only much smaller (and cheaper).
When I was in Engineering school, I was on a team that built and raced a solar powered car from Indy to Colorado Springs. They don't go that fast (80mph), but they look like nothing else and are definitely high tech.
