The image first. A good try, but the cart could do to be a little sharper (it's close though) and the background pulls the attention even though very blurred - the yellow jacket.

ISO is only part of the story - you need to get a suitable shutter speed for panning depending on the speed of the sport. I would have gone for 1/100 @ f8 here the trick of panning is, as in shooting - to keep the subject exactly in the same place in the frame as you pan, releasing the shutter smoothly during the pan without pausing or stopping the pan.

You are close, and practice will make perfect. Even so, even the best never manage 100% correct. However, focus is just as important as the pan - you must have the main subject on the sharp focal plane, but you don't need small apertures - f5.6 or 8 will be enough. Try setting focus to servo mode and let the camera track the subject - making sure the focal point is on the subject of course.

Servo autofocus works very well shen the subject is travelling from side to side of the frame.
