Lens is non-OS version of Tamron 70-200 and I was using spot metering which made some of the photos over/underexposed in this group. This Tamron lens is an excellent portrait and landscape lens but kind of slow for sports unless you bump the shutter speed up. I like to pan, so the capture rate with this lens on this camera was around one out of five. Not bad but not Canon L series IS level. Will either take my dust pump or borrow a 55-250 stm lens if I go to the SVRA race this year.
Assuming the light conditions aren't changing from minute to minute, you can manually lock in the good exposure and then they'll almost all come out good.
