Thanks Barry, I was around turn 3.
It was only a ride day not a race event,but I find this type of day allows for plenty of pratice without having to fight for a position to shoot from.

Jeff,

Nice shot mate. Got anymore??? Nice and sharp, your Sigma looks like it's being used well. You use the TC much??

You should come up for the easter speed festival in Bathurst, it's the first year, and they reckon they will get 50,000 at it over the three days. If nothing else it's a good excuse to take pics and catch up. It will also be my last weeks of freedom before the bub comes :D

Will email you.

Hi Alan
Thank you, I do use the TC but I find that I can't get as sharp a shot,maybe it's me and I need more practice at panning with it. I use it with good results on more stable subjects .
I might well be interested in Bathurst at Easter, is there a web site on the festival?
