At 80 MPH you are not going to get a no blur picture.
To minimize the shutter delay, set the camera to manual focus and set the
focus to infinity for objects in a field. Some cameras allow custom setting,
so do a custom setting that is manual focus that defaults to infinity.
Pan the Object means the you move the camera in the direction opposite to
the direction you are moving, keeping the object in the same position in the
view finder.
When Moving Right to Left, you would Pan(swing) the camera Left to Right,
keeping the object in the same view. To reduce blur, use the highest shutter
speed and largest aperture that will correctly expose the image.
