I wonder how much that puppy weighs? As Doug suggests, it would be a great lens at the track; that's just about the only place I use my 250-600 (oh, and airshows :-).
But I don't carry the 250-600 and the 300/f2.8 at the same time; one stays back at base. Even then by the end of the day I'm beat - with the 25-600, the 80-200, a couple of bodies, and a few more other odds-and-ends I'm starting out with 25lbs or more of stuff (and I'll swear it gets heavier by the end of the day).
