Not even the DIRT theme one?

Dave has a tough balancing act to not make the contest way too serious. The wildcard is how we interpret the theme. I'm a rank amature too, and am my own worst critic. I wasn't inspired this month, so didn't try.

I think Motor On gave a good critique. Be glad it wasn't me.

Thanks for the three votes. In my defense it was really cold that day. Like -20C so I was in no shape to better pose the car. Thanks for the input.

As a voter and member of NAM, I look at how it meets that topic, how it looks (technically and aesthetically) and it's odds of winning (this is the one place I gamble

I like to vote after a day or two and see where things end up). As there is no real voting criteria I'm sure other people vote differently for different reasons.

I could not have said this better myself. These monthly contests certainly push me into trying new challenges that I never would have attempted otherwise.
