That's my biggest problem at the (auto) race track. I think it's also one big reason that I get a much better percentage of keepers now that I use AF at the track. I think I was waiting for the subject to come into focus before tripping the shutter, instead of tripping the shutter just _before_ it came into focus. I've also found that using "trap focus" at the track can be an adventure (a misadventure). First off, it's sometimes hard to find a point to (pre)focus on that won't trip the shutter by itself. Second, if the subject is moving toward or away from you too quickly, the trap focus isn't quick enough. The prefocus spot is in focus, but the subject has passed it by the time the mirror flips and the shutter fires. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
