Great pics Dave, especially the funny car in motion. Very sharp for a hand-hold pan shot.
Are those jpegs out of the camera or processed raw? Nice color saturation- wondering what your settings were.

Yes, they are jpegs straight out of the camera.
I know I should be shooting raw and normally do, but my computer is not up to it. I use Lightroom, but the latest version is required for the D800 NEF converter. I cannot run the latest LR because it's Intel-only and I am still using a PowerPC Mac.
Since the race shots, I've started shooting jpeg+raw. I import the jpegs into LR, examine them, and convert the NEF keepers with Nikon View for further editing in PS. Each conversion takes a minute or two on my Mac Pro Quad-G5-processor with lots of RAM.
One of these days I will get a new computer, but I just bought a D800 which showed the limitations of my lens. So then I had to buy a 24-70/2.8. After the computer I will have to upgrade LR and PS. First things first, second things second, etc. I could buy a lot of Tri-X and Dektol for all that money.
