shooting fast action shots i have a minolta film camera with a fixed 300mm 2.8 lens. I shot pictures of unlimited hydroplanes (race boats). I have taken several rolls of film mostly kodak prof 400 with the camera set to manual control. I have the shutter speed to 1/4000 and I adjust the aperature to make the picture exposed properly (5.6-6.7). most of the pictures come out looking overly exposed or bleached out even though the meter in the view finder reads that its "0". the colors are not as bright and rich. is this a correct method for shooting or would I get better results putting the cameras setting to shutter mode and let the camera select the ap?

What was the source of your meter reading? What the object darker than neutral gray? This would cause your highlights and colors to wash out,...especially on a bright sunny day. Try metering the highlights and over-expose that setting by no more than 1/2 stop. The brightest spots may over-expose a little but everything else in the same light will look normal.
