My racing shots haven't been doing well. I like yours - it's a nice capture and I appreciate your efforts.

Great shot...love how you captured the point of impact. The focus is a little soft but at 120mph it's understandable. Very nice.

Comments: "Hey I'm driving here!" Nice capture, it always amazes me of how close together they race. Normally I'd like it sharper but given what this is an image of I think it is damn good. Not totally crazy about the wide-screen appearance (top and bottom crop) but it probably works with the right background. Might also need a bit of a contrast boost.

Great job on catching the accident between the 17 and 45 cars! If this isn't an in camera crop, I would like to see it with a little less space on the right and a little more of the 17 car - the yellow of the 42 car draws more of my to it more than the accident does. (8)

Just thinking about riding in one of those is enough to risk heart failure.

It doesn't show the speed at all. You need a wider shot to show what was standing still. I like the crowd of cars/composition.
