Thanks for looking

Very nice! Motorkhana sounds like what we call rallycross, here - essentially a tight parking lot course. I especially like the first photo with the car mashing the cone :)

I like that you're shooting with the Canon 650D. I've got a thing for shooting with small, inexpensive cameras. I think most people underestimate what you can do with an "entry-level" camera. Technique is almost always more important than gear and these photos absolutely demonstrate that :)

Thanks for the comments Photo-John

650D seems pretty good so far, one day, when i can convince my wife its a good idea, i will upgrade to a nicer body - wanted to get some decent lenses first, so need to let those purchases dissapear from her memory :) lol
