I am a finalist in a contest sponsored by my local radio station. I won tickets to the Suzuki Superbike races at Road America on Sunday. They are giving me a Fujifilm Fine Pix J10 (8.2 "budget ultra compact"). I have to take pics and make a short video of the events.
I read the motion photography thread (
TT). What I would like to pick your brains about are moving shots at a distance, i.e. I'm at one end of the stands and want to take a shot of the winner crossing the finish line. What are some good rules of thumb?
Feel free to recommend other types of action shots I should seek.
ISO settings: 64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and Auto
Shutter speed: 8-1/2000 seconds (or so they claim)
I am pretty naive (ignorant?) when it comes to digital cameras, so here is a link to a review I found that has all the specs;

If I win I get motorcycle racing lessons, so any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Looking for a few pointers
