PERFECT BALANCE
Great update but i dont think we'll be seeing any mazda rx-8s racing any gt-1s any time soon.


I didnt think it would even be able to keep up.....but it did....for a little bit. I was totally out cornered but the field :ouch:

Great work! The front rims don't work for me as they don't seem to represent drag racing front wheels to me... but the rest is perfect.

I voted for ya :dopey:


Thats what Im talkin about 👍

I didnt thing it was going to turn as well as it did.The wing was biggest concern, but it matches pretty well. I added the rivits do it didnt look slapped on. Im sure some of the PS pros could polish it even more, but this was the first time I even entered that comp....Im way out of my league in that comp. Im learning though...trying not to use the extra stuff on all the shots so I mix them up. Some of the shots I have...only added brightness and contrast and it looks like I used heavy PSing.

I appreciate your support though. :)

You might wanna look into some of the current wheels used. These are very common. They are made by Weld Wheels.

I took that last year when I was at Pomona fot the Winter Nationals. There are alot of cars that have the gold wheel. It keeps it from reflecting the lights at the starting line.

Oh, I didn't know that those wheels do that.

I'm used to more conventional ones I suppose. :)

(Not saying I support this site or the brand)

On those type of wheels they will put white shoe polish to keep from reflecting.


I was going to use one like that but felt the gold front gave it more character.

What's the piont of making them non-reflective?
 
The staging lights are sensitive, and if the wheels are super shiney it will trick the light into thinking nothing is in the beam, and for that split second will cause a red light...thus losing. :yuck:

I like the last one with the Dodge

Ya that one came out the best IMO. I was trying to make them seem like something you would see hanging in a garage or a kids bedroom...

They are pretty basic compaired to the other competition, but its ok. :)
 
I haven't seen the others yet but I think it does look like a flyer, I like it 👍

A 190E Race Car would stomp all over a Lancia Delta.

In all fairness, it was the first lap on N2 tires, so wide open throttle was leading to a ton of tire smoke and wheelspin. :scared: So that actually made it a close race. :crazy:
