Your pans are very impressive, Paul. Clearly you were able to perfect your
technique. I tried some of those years ago without much success. Have you
ever tried the colouring option in Photoshop?

Another pan from the 1982 NHRA Summernationals at Englishtown, New Jersey.
If I recall correctly I shot these at a pretty stout shutter speed, maybe
1/500th or even 1/1000th and panned about as fast as I could while fighting
to keep the car in frame. I prefocused on the rubber tracks on the asphalt,
knowing the drivers would try to stay right in "the groove."The tire
lettering seems to support the fast shutter speed. The car is past 100 feet
here, a little further along than the previous one I showed and is traveling
at well over 100 mph. The tires show more growth than those of the previous
shot. The injector doors are wide open. Top speed at the 1/4 mile in 1982
would have been around 260 mph if the driver made it all the way without
mishap. (Today, top fuel cars reach 295 mph at the 1/8th mile and 325 mph at
1000 feet.)
