#1's really nice, good action and pin sharp. A few of the rest have been spoiled by the ropes, I know it's not easy but you need to try to change the vantage point to avoid them 
Oh, and all over the 800 allowed, changing them to links

Was only shooting with either a 50mm f/1.8 or a 55-200 and even that wasn't long enough in some places, seems they are getting more cautious each year and have to stand further and further back so yes the ropes spoil them a bit.
Any other comments for improving them next time?
Sorry didnt know the 800pixels rule, ill change them all to a smaller size.

Thanks for resizing
There's really not much to say in terms of technique or composition, you've pretty much got that nailed. The shutter speed might be a bit high on one or two but if you check the mags the wheels are often totally frozen so it's not that much of an issue. Other than that it's just attention to detail and trying to get clean backgrounds and foregrounds. And that won't be possible all the time either.

As Dod said - the ropes really spoil the pictures
that number 3 of the second set is the type of shot I like to see (bar the rope)
cheers Chris

Not much i can do about the ropes unfortuneately, there was actually a lot of ropes and a pole in the first picture of the second post but i managed to clone those out because it REALLY spoilt it, the rest it doesn't look so bad in but id rather they weren't there either really. Last few now that ive just sorted, sorry theres so many

Wow nice shots. THem last lot are really good
Thanks for all your comments,thats probably my favourite too, was trying to get that shot but wasn't expecting so much mud to be flicked up, it annoyed me at first and was about to delete it but thought id leave it and now its my favourite.
Yeah shutter varied between 1/40s for the pan shots and 1/2000 for some of the others such as the first of the last batch, i set the 50mm to f/2.0 and let the camera choose the shutter. Got annoyed at using my cheapy 55-200mm though as the focus was a bit slow and wanted a wider aperture so ive just splashed out on an 80-200 f/2.8! Gah i hate ebay sometimes, im BROKE!
