[QUOTE="Jaynometry, post: 27630, member: 4132"] Shooting at a track requires movement and tons of practice. I don't think a monopod or especially a tripod would help much because they can be quite restricting and it might be too slow to give you that swinging pan action. Technique will out-do all the gear you can bring - try tucking in your shoulders and hold the lens at the end of the barrel for more support. As a general rule of thumb, you'd want the shutter speed to be close where your focal length is. 1/60 SS with a 300mm FL is quite slow, and it'll be really hard to walk home with tack sharp shots. Have you tried 1/300? Or just a click slower? [/QUOTE]
