Some great shots there, Larry!
Thanks a bunch.
I like the ones with some blur in them
to communicate that speed.
That was some of the key advice that John gave me.
How low did you go in shutter speed on some
of those pan shots?
I experimented all of the way down to about 1/30. In general, I found my
best results to be around 1/160.
The fluidr front end will show shutter speed next to each shot:

This shot of Joe Huffaker is at 1/80

As is this shot of the Miatas drafting

It looks like there are 6 at 1/100, 2 at 1/125, 11 at 1/160, 14 at 1/200.
I skipped and watched the video in your last link and that was quite a
last lap! Who ended up actually winning? I'm not sure how much they
get penalized, but it looked to me like the 3rd place car (137 VW)
actually got across the finish line (over the yellow line) first. Both
of the first two cars looked to be below the yellow.

Many thanks again to John Francis who loaned me a couple of lenses for the
trip and gave me some very helpful feedback and pointers.
I've finally had a chance to go through the zillions of frames that I took
of the racing, winnow them down to a manageable number and put some effort
into processing them.

As always C&C are appreciated.
I don't think that anything has made me appreciate the Bay Area more than
spending a week and a half in Daytona Beach. The weather was reminiscent of
Singapore and the food of a shopping mall. Culinary exploration consisted of
finding chains that I had never been to before.
This was my first real serious attempt at photographing motorsports. I had
little else to do for ten days, since my only duties on the crew were to
make sure that the rest of the crew were fed and to run a few errands left
me plenty of time to practice.
I have never missed my Spec Miata more than I did watching the Spec Miatas
qualify and race at night. They were easily the largest class, with 62 cars
in the race. The qualifying times for the top ten drivers were within one
second out of 2:19.

Watching them bump draft, bumper to bumper with the car in back pushing the
car in front along faster than either could go on their own, on the Daytona
banking looked like so much fun.

I highly recommend that you at least skip to about 43:40 of the H Production
race. Things get very interesting on the last lap:
