I agree most aren't quite minimalistic enough, mine included!
I'm heading off soon to a place I've wanted to try for a while to try something very minimal.
I think the law was something to do with the fact that some dash dodgers had a kink in them, meaning they were pretty much useless as they would just crumple.
Burpspeed have an OMP cage, they are alright with the rules I think (dashdodger)
Also, it's very difficult to have a slow shutter speed when the car is coming at you.
For instance, in this photo....
...you'll notice the front is pin sharp, but the back is a bit blurry. That's because the car is travelling towards you, and relative to you, changing shape ie. you start to...

As you say, they get a lot better towards the end ;)
I assume you have the camera set to continuous focusing? Where do you place focal reference point on the car? If you take the red evo shot, I would probably have it on the left headlight (as you look at it).
Panning just takes practice I'm...

I can't offer any experiences on any of those bodies or lenses, but I have heard a lot of bad things about the Canon 75-300mm lens! I'm sure a few people on here have/had that lens.
How come the D90 is cheaper? I thought that was a higher spec camera?
