Camera Work/Technical: I like the idea you had here, but I think that the lack of focus is a bit overbearing for what you produced. While I understand the use of motion, I think zooming out a bit, thus including more of a focused area, would have made this one easier to look at.
Lighting: Your lighting is the strength of this image, in my opinion. Even with the motion blur, its pretty easy to see that you captured a very nicely lit scene.
Composition/Content: Again, I think that the subject occupies a bit too much of the frame. Your choice of text and font fits this one very well.
My Opinion: Overall, I like it. I would, however, like to see more of the scene around the speeding vehicle. I think it would really pull me more into the scene and frame, making it more real to me as a viewer.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,

very nicely done! it's almost making me dizzy! lol. I'm usually not to big a fan of car motion images as they turn out a little cheesy but this one was done quite nicely with very little distracting factors.
