You've every right to be pleased with your shots. For a second attempt at panning you've got some great results.

I'm just trying to point you in the right direction here with your posted pics.
You seem to have cropped a bit square which would be more of a medium format look and not used in motorsport. I tend to crop at a fixed ratio of 1.5 width 1 height. which when done on your shot can be made into a 600x400 72dpi image.
I've taken the liberty of again picking one of your shots to demo with.
I've also added just a touch of colour via curves and once resized a touch of unsharp mask.
