i use my 55-300 at the track and auto-x events with good results. its not a fast lens either, just the standard f3.5-5.6

this was taken at Road America, Turn 7, probably about 400 ft away.

55-300 also has its place in landscape, portraits, etc

I got a 55-200 MM zoom lens for Christmas. Does anyone on here have a zoom lens that they use? I have my kit lens and a 50 MM. I think this zoom would be good for at the track use.

I guess if there is anything else in this price range that would be a better options I can return this one.

If you wanna ball hard you could get a IS 70-200 f2.8L. I had one for a while and it takes incredibly sharp photos at f/2.8 (more depth of field wide open and low light performance) and the image stabilization is a huge help when zoomed to 200mm

Im excited to announce my most recent project. As you may know I parted out a 95 m3 this past summer.

I enjoyed it so much I made a website to sell parts off of. I plan on getting a few new parts cars in to sell off of. 

In the meantime check out my site!

I put some stuff in my cart to buy and the checkout process won't let me log in to paypal.  I tested my info straight on the paypal site and it isn't the problem.  Something about sandbox etc.  Let me know and I can try it again.

Well this is fucking stupid... 2019 Ford Ranger will require the LF wheel removed in order to access the oil filter.

A service procedure obtained by TTAC states that, after removing the left front wheel, a technician or owner must then remove an access panel secured by nine push-pin retainers. From there, one removes the filter with an end cap tool. To actually drain the oil, which of course you’ll accomplish before attacking that filter, you’ll first need to unbolt the power steering control module underbody shield. Four bolts hold that on.
