I suppose you're right. However, in addition to the 911 shot (why do you say it's "classic framing", BTW?), I quite like the two Miatas cornering, and the bunch lead by the yellow RX 7 at what looks like the same corner.
At least those shots show the cars with a bit of body lean, and they're composed a bit tighter than the others. But, yes, on the whole, maybe a slower shutter speed while panning would have blurred the background a bit, maybe even blurred the front and back of the car a bit, to give the feeling of speed.
That, BTW, is what I love about Paul Stenquist's current PUG entry. The front and back edges of the car a just a bit blurred. That's a great job of panning!!
cheers, frank

Frankly, I would have binned those night shots and gone back to the manual to learn how to do it! The day shots are OK, but nothing spectacular: the best one is the Porsche 911 in 'classic' framing, IMHO. I get no sense of dynamism or speed from these shots - surely an essential element of motor racing, even at club level?
