I'm going to the Hangtown National next weekend in Sacramento and I'm planning on bringing my 70-200L 2.8 and my new (yay!) 24-105L 4.0. I figure I'll use the 24-105 for all of the shots in the pits and then mount the 70-200 for all of the race action.
I'm wondering if you guys find that 200mm is enough reach (assuming that I've got a normal fan's track access...behind the fence). I'm planning on walking the track quite a bit, so I should be closer at some points than at others.
There's no way I can drop coin on another lens, but I was kicking around the idea of picking up a 1.4x teleconverter if I needed a little more reach. I have a feeling that I'll be close enough at the fence for most of the shots, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone felt the 200mm might be too limiting. I'd much rather not spend the money on a tc, but any feedback is more than welcome.
