The signs in the front are a bit distracting. Perhaps a different composition (zoomed out a bit) would fare better.

Nice colors on the car. Perhaps a touch less exposure to add a little more zip to the colors. Nice detail work.

A bit soft and would have more impact if the background was a bit blurred to show movement

Looks like a parked car. No tension or movement.

Don't see how this is triumphant or successful or anything challenge related. I'm assuming by the title that the guy is flooring it and lifting the front end. No smoke, no motion blur on the wheels - it looks as if the car is just sitting with its front wheels on a stage of some sort.

Yup, you're right it does. But it doesn't matter so much when going in a horizontal line....haha. I like this image, but I think a better vantage point would work a lot better.

This is a pretty cool shot. But wouldn't this be taken toward the beginning of the race? I don't get "Triumph" out of this.

Nice and sharp with good colour but a tad still and uninteresting - Looks like the car is lifting onto a table or is it the wheels just going up?

Maybe a victorious finish would have shown better here. Great capture and sharp too.
