I believe this will be it for now (so says I ... famous last words).
Actually there is one more lens that I am interested in ... a Nikon TC14E or TC17E teleconverter for the 70-200 VR f2.8. This will enhance my reach at a racetrack.
The TC14E gives 1.4X magnification with 1 stop loss .. i.e. the lens become 98-288mm with a F4 max aperture. Excellent option with minimal negatives.
With the TC17E, you get 1.7X magnification (lens becomes 119-340mm) with a 1.5 stops loss of light - F5 approximately.
I am leaning towards the TC14E but I will wait a bit until I have a few "miles" under the belt with the 70-200VR. Hopefully I will get a good converter second hand.

Thanks ... I loved it too ... Sort of got it by accident - basically I got a snap of the cross traffic - 70mm, F11 and 1/3sec shutter speed. The VR option kept the lens pretty steady.
