Nice racing shots, especially for a compact. The nicely lit up bits of grass are basically a function of the really nice low warm light that was there. Your also shooting into it which has the effect of a rim light, lighting up around the outside of the grass so it actually glows in the photo. It's a very good effect and is used quite a lot (at least by me!) in photograhy.
I agree with stu the first shot is really good as it shows whats going on instead of just an action shot of a car. The action shots are great but for write ups and that the main pictures will nearly always be a picture that shows the event as a whole. My only alterations to that would of been to either zoom out (or walk backwards 2-3 steps) to fit the top of the rostrum and get a bit of a margin around the other cars, aside from that the shot is pretty much perfect.
Thats one scary looking cat showtime!
