After all your guys advice and finally deciding on the Canon 70-200m f/4L lense, i personally have been happy with the results for my 2nd motorsports outting. Lots of guys recommended slowing down my shutter speed for better panning results, and id like to hear some more C&C on the few photos ive attached.

I really like #4. Seems to pop out at me more than the others.

Personally, in panning shots, I like to see the subject sharp against the blurred background.

No EXIF?
 
Good start. You might want to kick up shutter speed just a bit, you're getting some blur in the subject.
 
I think you should bump up the shutter speed a little also. You camera is on AI Servo right?

As for composition, I think it maybe a little better with the moto not centered. It will be nicer if it was entering the frame.

AI servo yes. Appreciate the feedback. Im still not sure if its my shutter, or my noobness with panning good, so I will work with both. Thanks!
 
Panning is not easy and requires a lot of practice. If this is your first attempt, I'd say you did pretty good! What was the shutter speed? How many pics did you get?

My shutter speed varied from about 160-200 depending on how much i was zoomed in. I know lotso pros go way lower than that, but on a few tries i decided to go with a higher speed. I took about 800 pics total, and so far I have about 30 PP'd at this link

I would try starting off at a shutter speed of 320ish, then go down from there, going down 1/3rd of a stop whenever you "get it"

Those shots look good too. I like the ones on the inside of the corner more though, even if they aren't quite as sharp.
 
I really don't know what I'm talking about but it looks like you might has some dust casting a shadow on your sensor. Looks to be in the bottom left hand quadrant, but towards the center.

Just saying I noticed it when I went to your gallery. Hope to jump into the photography ring soon.
