This did very well in the challenge - you'll ruin your reputation if you're not careful. :-)

I hate sports shots, I hate car shots, but I love a good photo. This would have gotten a high score from me. I feel the tension, the speed, the necessity of the pit crew in a way that I would never feel from watching it on tv.

Almost kicked you in the face! And what is the pit guy doing with the blow dryer - is John Edwards driving?? :)

Congrats on great score and a top 20, Skip!

Awesome is the only thing that comes to mind! Love the angle, well, the whole composition really! The color is so nicely limited that it really captures your attention, and you can just feel the movement, the action of it all. Great capture!

Good catch here. The diagonal composition adds drama to what might otherwise be a fairly straightforward and uninspiring shot. 8.

I love this Photo! Absolutely awesome! Nice job capturing the moment here. I like the angle you have the photo at. Quite jealous also. Not voting in this challenge, but I hope you do well.

Better then a 'Night at the Opera'! Great action shot. Where's the fans? It's a 10 to me.

Good idea, but that shoe isn't very interesting.

Great action shot! The tilt really works to emphasise the speed of the pit crew!

Sweet, but isn't this a prcatice session? Races would have more spectators I would think.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice access, er, Skip?
I'm surprised how empty the stands are.
The isolated colors are very effective, creates that selective desaturation look that gives added pop to this action shot.

Excellent capture - JUST the right moment!
