I'd like to answer some of you questions if I may, I shoot a fair amount of sport on my entax gear. Football (soccer) & bikes etc.
I have both shot with a monopod and handheld. I find panning is easier handheld. Actually I shoot handheld 90% of the time. the monopod will get some use on a long day or in low light.
Shutter speed for panning depends on the speed of the bike and the effect you want. experiment. I have gone to as low as 1/10th sec for shooting bikes on the street.
If you are trackside the 50-135 could be sufficient give it a try, but if you have something bigger try that as well.
I would say shoot RAW, I very rarely shoot in burst mode even though I useually shoot sport. OK I may miss something. But in the gap between each shot in burst mode a lot can happen. I have it set to burst just in case, on occassions I keep my finger down but this is rare. I have not yet hit the buffer.
Hope that helps.
