John, what you need do to get a photo like that is move your camera along 
with the car that's the subject.

Depending on your csamera and lighting conditions you'll have to select an 
f-stop and shutter speed that works, which may take some experimentation. In 
any case, you pan your camera, blurring the background, but capturing the 
subject. It's easier to do than it sounds, and can result in dramatic 
images. I find that getting the car in the viewfinder early, while it's 
moving towards you, and then moving the camera while keeping the car in the 
viewfinder as it passes is the best way. Good luck, and have fun!

Reid,
Just got the July issue of Healey Marque.
Great cover photo of Tracy at speed.  I'd like to have you show me how
sometime to get shots like this that blur the road and background to get 
that
"speed" look.  Or how about an article in  Healey Marque on how to take 
racing
and moving car pics?
Great Job!!
