Hi Cliff, I always use "AI Servo" focus for all the motor sport photography. Your Sigma has ideal reach on your camera body for track side photography.
I used to use manual focus (that's all there was) when taking pictures of Barry Sheene and Ron Haslam, but that was a little while ago

everyone to there own really bazza, I started with canon then went to Nikon now back with canon, i'm not by any means a pro but i prefered canon, I also found unless you spend a fortune on a body most lens would not auto focus unlike the canon, just got a 500d which is quite entry level screwed on a sigma apo 400mm auto focused no problem, with nikon unless you buy the latest lens with motors or i think the d7000 has the motor in the body.
