Alex, nice shots mate but can i ask what shutter speed did you use as it seems there is very little motion in the wheels, but if this is your first time that is ok. They are great no matter and can be hard at times to get but i tend to use my simular settings as i do with my road racers.
Cheers
well done.
John

really good detail, the freeze action can be at times a matter of taste. with racing some motion has some appeal for the sense of movement and adding life but when frozen the detail really stands out.
