This weekend I will be attending my first pro auto race. the Bosch Spark
Plug Grand Prix CART race at Nazareth Speedway. I have tickets for the
stands and possibly press passes (I'm not sure yet). Since there are several
folks on the list who shoot auto races, I thought it would be a good place
to ask some questions:

What is a good recommended kit for this type of event?. I have the 16/3.5
FE, 28/2.8, 40/2, 50/1.4 90/2 135/2.8, 35-80/2.8, 75-150/4 and the 500/8
lenses and several bodies. Is a monopod practical? What about film and
recommended techniques (most of the things I take pictures of are not going
200 mph!).

Obviously too much gear would kill me on a day that is predicted to be sunny
& hot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike V.
