Really my first attempt at an action shot,

Shot with Canon's 40D, F3.5, ISO 100, & SS 1/200. Lens used is a Canon 60mm macro. I wished I went with a zoom lens on this shot.

Nice catch...at first it looked like it was out of focus till i scrolled and saw the car....
nice shot and great timing.....
maybe a tighter crop to show off more of the car......not a bad launch there......

Great work panning. A tighter crop, like xxpinballxx suggested wouldn't hurt. It'll help reduce the grandstands and other distractions in the distance. Just make sure you leave a lot of that space that's in front of the car. The space the car is "moving" into works really well when there's motion.
