As usual, had a great time even though there were too many full course yellows. 
Lots to shoot, also this was my first try at panning shots. I studied and asked folks on the "how to" the week before on different forums. Gathered some starter settings. Here is the results, hope you like'em
:
My friend from high school at camera left holding the gloves! Go Nico!
Audi Team FTW!

Sweet, Thanks Dudes for the encouragement! 
I really enjoyed the process of taking the different kinds of shots. Learning a ton!
R-Dub - I'm on a Canon XSi, most shoots are with a 70-300mm EF IS lens.
Hatteroo & JZ oo7 - Totally Random, just chillin eatin my chicken sandwich, and Tiff just sits at the table with a bunch of kids, a driver, some woman, and a small camera crew. Then everyone takes off except Tiff. Just Chillin by himself for a bit. Slowly people start to come up to him, so eventually I did too. It was pretty cool, cause no one really bombarded him. Not sure if he was driving, or was there for fun!
MyNikonLens - No Media pass, and I was all over the track scouting for a decent place to shoot. I sample many spots , but turn 9 & 10 seem to be a money spot for me.

was tiff a nice guy? he seems like one. if i was there, i probably would've been wearing my, "I AM THE STIG" t-shirt. if i was, i would walk up to him and say, "i'm not, but i know you are."

Nice shots!!! What shutter speed were you using on the pans if you don't mind? I seemed to catch the wheels stopped last time and yours look so much better. Really nice work!
