The problem shows up when the viewfinder is obscured during the shutter release process --- you aren't able to follow the car. I need to probably a) zoom out a little more, b) use both eyes, c) take a lot of throwaways.
Yeah, the likelihood of getting a super-crisp shot at full resolution is probably nil with my gear, but at least photos like that EVO look great at 800x600 or so.
I'll keep practicing.

yea, just keep practicing panning the entire scene, over and over. and if you have a dslr don't be timid with the shutter release, just snap away. the worse that happens is you fill your memory card and have to delete a buncha picture. one problem i ran into though was with the cones, it was SOOOO hard to pan perfectly and get the damn cones out of the way. there was like a 20 foot section i kept trying to get the cars in on that turn.
