I use my VR on all the time panning and it works fantastic.

Yeah, I agree to a degree. I was thinking about it after I responded and thought that it wasn't so much the VR as it was the focus speed. I tried a few with single focus and some with continuous, with mixed results in each mode. However, I think most of my issues were caused by using single point focus vs full field focus. I used full field on Sunday and had much better results. I'm going to be shooting some more action next weekend and will give VR another try with different combos of focus mode and see how it goes. I'm still trying to get my feet wet with fast action.... Baby steps....
