after a couple of days of messing around with a reliable mount and scouting decent locations, shooting day and night settings, this was my favorite of the bunch. The turning shots are cool, but "don't meet the challenge".
Let me tell you, having that much equipment hanging that far off the car on an open street is a little nerve-racking:
EOS 10D + Canon 16-35mm, not to mention the damage the mount would do to the car if it struck something.
the mount can be seen here:

I may post some outtakes after the challenge if there's interest.

You've got to be completely insane. Thats alot of weight to be hanging off the side of your car. Great shot,. this was one of my 9's from the challenge.
thanks for all the positive comments. this was not an easy rig to setup and I had this idea early on, so I wasn't rushing to make it happen, as I have in the past. Check out this thread for some "outtakes":

This is an awesome photograph! The colors are beautiful and the focus on the car is dead on. But that's my problem with it as well... At least for this challenge. The subject of this photo is the car as opposed to 'vanishing lines'.
Outstanding, wonderful, superb. This shot captures the eye in many ways. The motion blur of the lights and sharpness of the car is really spectacular. The exposure is spot-on. A top 10 for sure, maybe a ribbon. Congrats ahead of time!
Not sure how you got this shot, but its my favorite in this challenge. I love how the car is focused except the wheels which are obviously turning. Looks like your heading into the vanishing point. I could see this on my wall.
WOW COOL SHOT! I like it ... THe motion blur seems totaly indipendant from the clear focus on the seam in the door jam. So I'm thionking that the camera on time exposure or remote trigger had a rear curtain synch on a flash ??? How did you do it ? (9)
