just re reading this through and im starting to wonder why i need a 2x on the 70-200?? it gives me the same 400mm as im getting with the 300+1.4!!
maybe i should just get a second hand 1D instead!!!
Still does not explain why the 2x does not work on your 70-200/f2.8 Dean.

BTW I would have thought that for fast moving action like motor sport, using a 2x tc with any Camera/lens combo would mean that the AF would be too slow (and that includes Nikon).

Even if you got a 1D and used the 300/4 + 2x tc I suspect the AF would be too slow for your needs (also IQ would take a big hit).
