Double post (technically) ftw 
I took the opportunity yesterday to get to Larkhall kart track and have a look at the open practice in preparation for the race meeting happening in a couple of weeks. Unlike my first motorsport outing above there was more sun out, so that was a bit of a hand.
This was my first time trying to shoot karts and they were moving a LOT faster than the cars at the autotest above (as you'd expect). I was focusing on trying slower shutter speeds and panning (probably around 50% of the shots were taken between 1/30th and 1/100th of a second). I found this very difficult, but I got some shots that I'm pleased with. I left in quite a few shots that aren't quite well matched enough (still have a bit of blur in the main subject) so that I can hopefully see my progression in the future. A mistake I made here was also to spend too much time trying to track subject and not enough making sure the backgrounds were clean. Thus, a few of the panning shots have unpleasant backgrounds.
I also took a number of shots around 1/500th of a second, but on reviewing some of the images I can see this wasn't quite fast enough to freeze the action (something around 1/640th or 1/800th would have been better). I thought 1/500th would have been fast enough and it was difficult to tell on the LCD when reviewing the images between the action.
I was using AI Servo AF again and I noticed that on a significant percentage of the shots (somewhere around 10%), especially with subjects moving towards me, the focus was on the foreground or the background, rather than the intended subject. I wonder if this is relates to some technique problem or a limitation of the lens (18-135mm STM kit lens) and/or body (Canon 650D). I was always tracking the subject with the shutter half pressed before firing the shot, so I HOPE that was the correct thing to do.
I've learned another couple of lessons and got a bit more of an idea what to expect when trying to shoot karts. I'll hopefully get another chance to shoot some practice before the actual race meeting.
As before, I welcome any constructive criticism and feedback you're willing to give me.

Perfect, thanks. I'd been working my way through all the artists I thought it might be (808 State, Above & Beyond, Orbital, Aphex Twin, etc), but hadn't got to The Prodigy yet.
I'm sure I've heard this before, and I know I'm going to kick myself for not getting it, but can someone help me out, please. I'm looking for the name of the song from about 0:10 to about 0:39 in this video. Thanks in advance.
Looked into any form of GPU-accelerated search?
I got bitten by the photography bug around the end of last year. After researching for a while I plumped for a 650D with the 18-135mm STM kit lens. I got it delivered on New Year's Eve, but since then the weather hasn't been conducive to a lot of outdoor shooting (well, not without weather-sealed gear anyway 
). Yesterday I went out to a (relatively) local autotest event to get my first taste of action shooting. It was very overcast, so with my variable aperture kit lens (3.5-5.6) I was constantly skirting high ISO and spent a lot of the time up around 800-1600. I also didn't have a lot of reach and there were some really bad backgrounds, so I had to aggressively crop a lot of the images. Still, for my first time I'm pleased with how a few of them turned out. I'm thinking of getting a faster 70-200 constant aperture lens in the near future, but I'll see how it goes.
Any constructive criticism (towards composition, technique, choice of position etc) would be welcome.

So you don't have a source then?
I'm asking if you have any source to suggest a legal precedent to support the assertion I quoted above.
Do you have a source for this bizarre piece of logic?
Pneumatic actuation, not hydraulic.
That's from the display car that's used at various PR events to provide additional cooling due to the slower speeds. The 'proper' race cars don't have those fans fitted at race weekends.
This suggests the problem is with a ban file. Have you manually edited anything to do with bans?
I'm 12 and what is this?
Impressive response to someone else's mistake. Well done Vic.
A better solution (one which allows your family to stay connected and you to game with decent ping) might be to enable Quality of Service and/or traffic management quotas on your router, if it supports them. Try looking through your router's manual for Quality of Service.

Click it, then click the top "Browse" button in the section titled "Upload File from your Computer". Then navigate to your LFS folder on your computer (e.g. C:/LFS) then go into the "data" folder and the "spr" folder (assuming you saved a single player replay). Once in the spr folder look for the replay you saved (when you saved it you should have been told the replay name). Double click the replay you want to upload then click the "Upload" button on the right side of the top section.
