CHeck out the left front tyre all folded up under the rim.... Surprised it didn't go flat - this is the norm for these cars going through the corkscrew....

These are nice images but you need some motion in your wheels to give the viewer a sense of speed otherwise it looks like you shot these at 1000th sec and too me that is boring. You should take a look at John Thawley's work or Rick Dole as these two photographers images will give you an idea at what your future clients would like to see.

Steve: I saw these and wanted to comment... but Utah's internet connection was frightening.

As mentioned, you need to work on dropping the shutter ... in essence, you've sucked the energy out of your subject and nearly frozen the cars in place. Your colors are excellent and your compositions pretty good... but you need to report the speed. Drop that shutter and practice. :)

Good job.
