I plan on taking tons of them but need a better lens. I have a Nikon D50 with stock lens, can anyone suggest a better lens to use for action shots. Willing to spend 1k.

I need tires for my cup, I might buy some leftovers when they're done.

PM me with what you plan on shooting and where from. I shoot Nikon for my freelance work and will be able to point you in the right direction of good deals on good lenses.

Heck yeah I'll take them. Since the springs are not that expensive and not terribly difficult to change I can buy some softer than the cup ones and compare and contrast.

As I mentioned, Nathan thought that the spring rates I gave him would be too soft.

Congrats again. I never enter these things because I never win. Guess what... I bet I never win because I never enter these things!

Grassroots Motorsports 2007 Rolex 24 At Daytona Experience, a ride in
the pace car, a meet and greet session with the event's grand marshal
Richard Petty, and access to the Champion's Club and Gatorade Victory
Lane.
The winner will also serve as an honorary member of the No. 59 Brumos
Racing team, headed by motorsports superstar Hurley Haywood. (Last
year's VIP package winner spent much of the race not more than a few
feet away from Haywood.)
Congratulations Phil. Please bring a digital Camera. Well deserved.
