Takes a lot of practice.

You can say that again. Unfortunately there is a lot more to it than just pointing good equipment at something interesting. It takes a lot of experimenting to get satisfying shots that convey motion like the pros. Lens choice also often comes down to where you are shooting from. At a PCA Autocross event my 100-400L was almost too long but it would be ideal somewhere like Road Atlanta where you can use the zoom to step back from the fences and still fill the frame with the subject.
I took these with a Canon EF 28-135 IS.
