I tried to take pictures Saturday night but my camera doesn't get them good at night, I think I need to adjust my camera.

What kind of camera do you have? Do you have a good flash too?

It is a Nikon E4800 8.3x Zoom, yeah it has a good flash, I will upload a picture from Saturday to show you what I am talking about, there has to be a setting to adjust to fix the darkness problem.

Your Camera probably does not have enough flash for the dark conditions.. I could be wrong but probably not. If there are any settins that control the exposure you can try that..

Otherwise I would try using a photo program such as Google free Piccasa
http://picasa.google.com/

or Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 5.0 software

I use the Adobe s/w

Most built-in flashes will only carry 15-18 feet (its in the specs). For night racing pics you really need a camera that takes an external flash (which yours doesn't). An SLR camera would be the best, but they cost a lot more.

Now the wicked one is probably close enough to the track for the flash to carry (especially if he's shooting toward an area where the track is lit really well).
