My son's flip at the track
As far as grain, anytime you crop a photo that much, it will get grainy unless you have like a 24mp, full sensor camera - then maybe. No different than film.
When I get a long shot of wildlife and crop heavily, the result is seldom pretty. Only a longer lens will cure that
Maybe a 2x teleconverter will get you closer without the weight (you will lose a bit of aperture though).
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I use the 18-200 because of the wide angle and most of the tracks are so small that the 70-200 is too limiting for the way that I like to shoot. The other photographer has a different style and she loves her 70-300.
That may be it rather than the noise that I was told was the problem.it will get grainy unless you have like a 24mp, full sensor camera - then maybe.
My husband and I had the big discussion over the next step for a camera this weekend as we were still trying to decide if we were gonna get the "Kid" one or not. Best Buy had a great deal on the D5100 w/bag and few lenses, and an ok deal on the D7000 and 2 lenses. We finally decided again to wait, I have learned everything about mine yet and can't see stepping up to the d7000 instead of going FF except for the lens thing...But I told him I have gotten awesome shots with my D60 and my D300s and I want to wait until they release the newest then decide lol.
Amazing you had the composure to get these exposures (yeah, I made a rhyme) as your son was flipping.... Glad he was ok...
