I like them all but if I had to choose 2 it would be 1 & 3 as while 2 is a great shot, it doesn't look like you are moving.

The other problem with #2 is that big white tarped-over blob in the background.

But they're all cool pics.

Geez ....... apparently I have to give reasons for my pic, or reasons to eliminate the others.

#1) Great shot but pylon is down indicating a miscalculation (boo boo)and view of driver is blocked. It could be anyone.

#3) Good action shot, but once again a pylon is down ... and Kazoo is in the passenger seat!

#4) No offence, but I've never thought of the rear of a C-5 to be it's most attractive angle ... and ... who's driving?

Leaving #2 as my choice ..... If I was paying for this shot, I'd want people to see ME in the drivers seat. The angle of the car is perfect (brochure quality) and you can see the driver is concentrating ....

LOL! Those pylons are LEANERS they are supposed to be down!!

They tell you which side of the cones you are supposed to go

I didn't hit a cone all day

I agree with everything else you have said though

I didn't know that ...... and I bet I'm not the only one!! If that were me in my brick of a C-3, they'd ALL be down, (leaners AND standers ) and getting dragged along under the car all the while melting and leaving an orange trail indicating to others where NOT to go.

So is Kazoo a friend? an official? a coach?

haha Kazoo is a friend of mine (Mike)

Here is a pic of Mike and I in his Anniversary TA. Look at the grin on his face LOL!

This was during a four wheel slide at about 70mph through a slalom section of the course

with my adept driving skills the only way I would miss those pylons were to be if I headed straight for them.

Personally I like #1. With the dust spray I think it is cool. As you show it you can tell everyone that that is you driving. My $0.02

Awesome shots
