Why aren't you going with the D4 instead, since you are using it at the track? How large are you needing to print your photos?

I'll tell a couple of people that I know about your camera.
I will come out of pocket less than $1000 after selling my D700 and go from carrying my D7000(for video) AND my D700(for photos) to just the D800. When hiking around Road Atlanta in the summer this is a huge deal to me LOL it sucks hauling around two cameras, it is heavy and awkward.

The D4 isn't worth double the price for me, plus it is a HUGE camera that weighs a lot, which sucks when you are holding it and a large lens all day. Not to mention I do rig shots and the more weight at the end of your rig = more bounce, which = harder to get sharp shots.

I have no issues with printing, I used to print 20x30 posters with my 7.1MP D50 all the time! Please pass the word around for me, while I don't need to sell it asap I would like to pre-order my D800 when I can.
