<p>I have shot sprint car racing, cutting (horse/rider cut a cow from herd and keep it a bay), horse racing, and inline hockey. I have a similar set up, Canon 30D w/ 70-200 mm f/2.8 IS L. I agree with John and Glenn on the settings. You'll get what you came for Amanda. However, I also agree the custom white balance will increase (not with motion freeze, however) the over all quality of the images. <br>
You can see my metadata at: http://tgramont.com/ (Cutting Events set). I'm not sure if I have any sprint cars there, but I do at http://tamijopix.com (see galleries at the bottom of the page. There are 11K images there so its best to know where to go.)<br>
You are an inspiration. I moved near Jobbing Arena in Phoenix with the hopes (in part) of shooting the Coyotes. Come to find out they might be leaving, and don't even practice at the arena 2 min from my house... Another story for another day, however, I will watch and wait to see your images from the up coming season. Are you shooting practices at all?<br>
The second image of the slide stop was indoors, stadium florescents and far away, too far for my short little 70-200mm. However, after throwing some "junk" at it after the fact I was able to pull something from it.</p>
ice hockey (balancing shutter speed/ f-stop/ISO for Canon)?????
