Excellent set, well done.
I used to do a lot of photography for a local short track oval racing club and I used my K-5 II together with a Sigma 70-200mm 1:2.8 which had its IS set to mode 2, (Panning)
Question: Would the K-3 III's SR Panning mode have been any use in this situation?
I just read that it is meant for slow moving objects, but at the same time, depending on your camera to subject distance, you could be panning quite slowly.

Thank you for your comment. I do like to slow the shutter speed down as much as I can just to see what the results are. You certainly know how to nail those racing shots - super set

I did try the SR Panning mode but only with K3 III and my DA* 50-135 and I couldn't really tell what difference it made. I'll try it with the 70-200 at the next meeting. My camera to subject distance is very short as I stand right out on the edge of the track (except when the bangers are on and then I stand well out of the way) and I have to shoot between the gap in the large marker tyres that are on the turns. So, with shooting through a gap and the speed of the cars I am panning quite quickly. Excellent set, well done.

I've managed to find a photo showing the marker tyres on the turns/edge of the track.

Nice set, if I had to pick a favourite it would be no 3, but all good.
Thanks for posting

Great set and seems you've found the match made in heaven!
Think I saw some old Ford 4 spoke alloys that you would have seen on the Capri back in the day on some of these vehicles?!
