Wonderful action shots. Especially like the 2nd one as it displays the control the rider has at high speed.
Well captured.

You must have your panning technique down pat, Don - they are so sharp.

All fantastically sharp! Usually motor racing shots don't do much for me, but I like this set. All too often you see compromises in sharpness or framing, but these are all excellent

These were obviously taken with a Canon or Nikon because Pentax are not capable of shots like these.

Thank you all for the kind words, might consider putting up with the 8000klm road trip again

Um? dont know as I use manual for most things, I also took the tamron 70-200 and apart from the lack of length it's a much better lens for this fast stuff.
C&C welcome.
