Challenge: Sports III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D70

miserable weather - cold and windy with intermitent snow and rain - and these guys just kept racing - he's going around 160 mph in this shot and he's 200 ft from a turn - he was screaming and barely slowed to do the corner - terrific to be this close to them to be sure.

Oh, and I NEED a 600mm f/4 lens for sure!

Very nice linear motion blur. The angle is a touch disconcerting but nicely different.

Excellent pan.

Great motion blur, it really shows the speed. Face is unfortunately obscure, but the rest of the bike is quite clear for the amount of blur of the background.

nice motion blur in the background. Good angle too.

the bit of the edge of the track in the bottom right corner is a bit distracting from this really strong action image.
