Just spent half the day taking some photos (the other half getting sunburnt) of some guys I know down at EC raceway.
The pictures were taken with my PHD Canon A80, most of the 160 odd photos turned out blurry, or completely out of focus (doh!) but here are some of the good ones.
The rest.
I'd love to have had a D70 and 70-200mm VR, maybe a 1.7x TC as well for this kind of stuff, but will have to make do with the A80. I didn't even bother with AF, just manually set the focus, and hoped for the best, also the reach of the zoom was a setback, alot more zoom would have be great.
Next time I might need to distract the resident Pro and run off with his D2H and 300mm lens.

brembo... theoretically the shots are good... nice panning and nice composition... just a pity about the equipment you had....
with a few of them in your gallery i'd just crop a bit more to get rid of some wasted space.... but nice work....
remember... slip slop slap!!

Hi Brembo,
cool photos !
It just shows again that it is the person behind the camera that takes the photos.
Cheers

As suggested, I need to work on my cropping, those were just a quickkie to get them on the web for some of the guys 
An uncropped (but heavily resized) image straight for the camera. Fully zoomed in and as close as I could get without being kicked out of EC 
That's why I'm begging for a nice fast tele lens.

Nice shots man. Do you have any photos of a orange/black Suzuki GSX-R? Rider will be in a black helmet, with a grey/black jacket.
EC's a bugger of a track to shoot from. I went there last week, mainly hung around corner 2, and corner 5. I found with my D70 and Tamron 70-300mm lens, that it wasn't quite enough zoom, from the standard spectator view points (closest to the track as possible). Maybe I didn't walk around enough to find the best spot, but I feel I would have had a much better day with a 400mm lens, in terms of framing apex shots (Which always look the best IMO). You always had that perfect frame when they were exiting the corner, not on the apex in the middle of the corner.
I went from a Canon A85 to a Nikon D70, and don't regret it - neither will you 
Cheers,
Tommo.

Hey is that Agg in no. 2? I think it might be. Agg aka James Rolfe, webmaster of Overclockers Australia (hence the printing on his jacket).
Brembo, you should post these over on OCAU's forums.

Yeah it's Agg, him and his bike are plastered in ocau stickers The pics have been posted on the ocau.mc forums already, most of the guys in those ones are from ocau.mc.

I didn't really bother checking out the whole track, mainly stayed in/around the pits, and turn one. 40C ambient temp and the harsh sun made for an almost unbearable time when I snuck out of the garages to take some pictures. I plan on getting out to some more and might go for a longer walk around the track, hopefully it's cooler next time!
EDIT: Added some more photos.
