Default Aluminum A-arm GIVE AWAY from Speed Direct

We are announcing our aluminum control arm give-away. Enter by submitting a photo of your Corvette and entry form online at http://cmc.speeddirect.com/contest.asp?&url=contest/ We will be giving away a set of our aluminum upper control arms outfitted as you like including performance ball joints and polished finish (as depicted in the photo). Complete rules and details are at the link above.Please keep the image size under 200 KB otherwise you will get an error when submitting.



Speed Direct’s aluminum control arms improve front end geometry for better handling and more stable driving. More positive caster is achieved for better straight line stability, revised roll center and a more aggressive camber gain for more cornering ability give your Corvette what it needs when using modern radial tires.

Yeah we're psychic. We know the winner before the contest is even over. Haha. Sorry about that typo. The winner will be announced May 15th. We will correct that right away.

Is this a random drawing or are the pictures being judged?

Can you let me know if you received my entry. I keep getting an error after I submit. I stayed with the 25 words and uploaded a pic.

Thanks

We have made several tweeks...we'll make more until we get it working like it was when we tested it. Go figure it decides not to work when we go live with it. Sorry guys but we'll get it fixed. We are getting people signed up so others aren't having the same trouble.

Ok, I think we figured out why some are having problems with submitting an entry. I looks like the image size needs to be smaller than 200 KB. So please re-size your image before submitting.
