My experience at Mid-Ohio is that you will not get many good shots from
the grandstand. If you "roam" you will get some good shots during
qualifications and testing since you'll be away from the backs of heads
like you'll see in the stands.
I think the choice of lenses you listed will be good. The 35-70 is
right if you have paddock passes and the 200 + and - the extender will
let you get good shots.
I usually shoot Fuji Superia 200 and get good results. I take 400 with
me but have yet to use it. This past August I shot some Kodak 100 EV
Ektachrome and was able to get the shots I wanted during the race.
Enjoy the race..... And go Max!
