I wrote a really nice post, lots of detail and humor, and when I clicked "Post" it gotten eaten up by the Server Unavailable error that hits these forums fairly frequently.


So, here is the condensed version:


I have the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 non-IS lens and I'm going to the 10 hour Petit Le Mans in 2 weeks. I have since read that while this is a great lens for human fast action sports events, the IS version might actually be better for auto racing since I would want to use a panning move.


I have a nice enough tripod, but the head is rather entry level, so, it's not the best for panning, though during the day I should be able to keep the camera pretty fast. I also have a monopod.


Any tips for shooting car races with this set-up?


Camera is a Canon T2i.
