That lens is a very good lens, just realize it won't work well in low light situations, but for daylight and really good lighting it is a very sharp lens. It's also a bit lighter too

Kevin,
Well since you sit in turn 4 (road course Turn 1) you know right where I am a lot of the time for the Brickyard and Indy 500 as I'm in turn 4 most of the time just about 40 yards from the road course. Depending on where your seat is you could use up to a 300 or 400 for there.
Where I shoot from though 90mm will just get the length of a car directly across from me coming off of 4.
Turn three you can use a 135 and fill the frame with a car.

Yea my Indy seats are at the last section or so of the North Vista...can you say Danica's wreck right in front of us this year....Then for the USGP we're dead on road course T1 or as you say exit of T4 on the oval.

Being on the inside does help get those killer shots...stands are a bit harder. The more I think of it I think that 70-200 f4L ight be the way to go along with maybe the 28-135 or something like it for a walkaround type deal. I don't really mind the overlap in length. But who knows... At this point I think the 70-200 f4L is the most bang for buck today and I can just add on from there!

Maybe I could toss on the 1.4x converter to get a bit more length out of it if I need it.

Thanks for the help...I am sure I'll be back.

Adding the converter takes a stop of exposure too, so you're on the f/5.6 limit for auto-focus then.
