What camera settings did you use?

Looking at the photos (which are ok) I'd suggest:

1. Increase ISO => allows a faster shutter speed at same exposure
2. Increase aperture => faster shutter speed for same exposure but reduced depth of field
3. Set shutter speed to around 1/250sec => avoid blur but keep motion in background, or > 1/500 sec to freeze motion
4. Use a longer focal length (or zoom lens) => you can be further away to allow a smoother panning motion & further reduce depth of field.
5. Take pictures of Anthony's car because it's either broken & not moving, upside down & not moving, or just moving slowly.

Keep meaning to bring my SLR to a Regional but then I think I'd just forget to race!
