Stephen; Predictive AF would be usefull for racing photography because it keeps a moving subject in focus as the shutter is tripped. Trap focus could be usefull as well in racing because you could set the focus on a pre-determined part of the track and the shutter will trip automagically when a car hits that point.
Speaking of racing, are you going to Summitt Point the weekend of April 26th for the opening MARRS race?
