I went down to Indy on Saturday to watch my wife's cousin (#736 Aaron Yoder) race in the Supercross race. I also borrowed a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 ED AF-S VR (sweet lens) to take some photos during the practice sessions.

Most were taken at ISO 400 & f/2.8

Here are the rest that I have uploaded, so far:
THQ AMA Supercross @ Indianapolis

Let me know what you think. Enjoy.

Edit: For the record, this was the first time using the lens and first time really trying to shoot an event like this. Don't beat me up too bad. :-)

I was going to ask the guy about the lens, especially since he was shooting a Nikon. Interestingly though, I never saw him use that camera. Seeing that he was always right beside the track, he was shooting with his other camera/lens which looked like a short zoom (24-85mm f/2.8 maybe).

I started following motocross since my wife and I got together about 6 years ago, since her cousin races. He is consistently top of his class in the state, so he is working on going pro now. I think he is racing three Supercross events this year.
