Something else to think about; my max sync speed is 1/250, during the day i usually shoot at about 1/400-1/600. So I'll really have to pan with the car to get it sharp.

I guess i could just fine an active corner that's facing away from the racers, and try to set something up there.

I don't have any softboxes, only umbrellas. And those wont controle the light very well, it might have flare kicking back to the drivers. Hmmm

Also, the flash duration is much faster on my Speedlight, so it will "Freeze" the subject alot better then my studio strobe. So i will try to just use 2 of those, one as a main and one as a track light/rim.

Camera gear:
Canon 40D
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8
50mm f/1.8

I could try using the 50mm @ a high iso but anything over 800 isnt that great. Unless i use some type of noise reduction software in photoshop but that usally makes the image soft.
