in the panning shots 1/60th or so, but in the larger turns where I wanted a faster speed I bumped it to 1/200th.

Around 1/100 I start to get blurriness in the car from shake. Do you use an IS lens and just use 1-axis of the IS, or do I just need to work on my panning?

looks like so much fun, bummed I couldnt make it.

all those rocks make me cringe, I would have to not give a crap about a vehicle if I brought it out there, how a fresh painted car must look after a day out there would make me sick to my stomach.

would love to have a track vehicle to bring out one day.

I took my e39 out there which is pretty clean. While my day was cut shorter than I would have liked by a cooling system failure, I did more than a few laps. My only damage was a rock that must've skipped on the driver's fender and made two little rock chips that combined would still be smaller than the eraser on a pencil, and I didn't tape up at all.

Besides, I'm pretty sure you know someone who could fix any paint damage....

Which is very easy at Driftwater, especially if you don't drive in the pre-lunch sessions. Now that I told you about the lack of damage you'd sustain, you're going to get Stock or Modified to repaint my fender for free, right?
