Is that Willowbank in QLD? If it is then you can use a flash there, I've been there and people have been flashing away with their point n shoot camera's, hoping to god that they've captured something ..lol

Luke,
can't say for sure abut flash, you will need to check with the officials on the night.

As for settings, hard to say, the light looks like it is pretty good, but would guess that you will need to be up around 800 iso and as wide as your lens will let you if you can't use flash.

I would be around 1/40th - 1/50th shutter speed and adjust the aperture and ISO to get your exposure correct. How are your panning skills.

At WSID your wasting your time using a flash, you won't be close enough for it to be useful.

Hi Luke,

How do you get a trackside pass? as that would interest me as well.
