My Sebring shots!!!
First time out there and first time really trying to pan! C&C please! Especially from you Eddie! haha I'm gonna give you a run for your money soon! 
Sebring Testing - a set on Flickr
But first off I hate this guy! TWO D3's, 70-200, and a 500mm f/4! I need to work for a good outlet lol
The M3 was awesome.
These guys were quick!
The Mazda sounded SO awesome with the turbo, especially when he went into the turns.

Chris, all I did was adjust the levels. I did not do any sharpening with these, I need to tweak my unsharp mask a little more cause I wasnt liking how it was coming out.
The M3 sounds great. They all did, except the Ford GT lol Like I wrote I liked the Mazda's turbooooo ha
I kinda cheated and wanted to get the hang of the panning motion, so I typically left it in aperture, and was right around the range of ~f12-18 I think.

Panning is pretty good Mike! These shots are good representations of the cars but those crops take away from the overall feel of the image. Only #2 and #5 are even remotely entertaining / artistic. Also, try to get "full-frame" images with the car in the bottom half for a better sense of motion. Panning is only part of a good motorsports image, I think framing, background and angle are equally important.
