i've got some sweet ideas for this one

Drifting-Some type of drifting on a closed course with one hand out the window doin the V-power sign.

RallyCross(Gravel/Snow)-Sliding thru a transition with one hand out the window doin the V-power sign, perhaps hitting a cone in the process too :thumbsup:

.........same could apply to a drag racer but doing a burnout at the line

Something tells me they'd disqualify those from the above - sounds like they want amateur mom&pop type stuff when you read the rules

wow so far there's like maybe 4 entries that I would believe are people that actually buy V-Power for their cars. A corolla, a minivan, come on, most people likely to say glad I only have to fill up on regular and not pay for premium like that fool....

What defines "professional photographer"? They need to have better guidelines than that. I'll do the whole thing with a camera phone and if they refuse it and say that was "professional photography" I'll take them to court for false advertising. If they've had 1 photo published does that make them a professional? So I'll find a photographer that has never had a photo published but is on the edge of signing a contract with a local paper..........honestly, "no professional photography" leaves ALOT of room for interpretation. I think they would appreciate an amateur motorsports in action picture. Since the driver and the photographer are amateurs how can they refuse the entry?

Nobody's stopping you from trying :D

I'm just offering my interpretation of what they're looking for based on their rules - it's just like a job interview ... no matter how totally awesome you/your ideas are, you play it to what they're looking for :dunno:
