It's a very good effect and is used quite a lot (at least by me!) in photograhy.
I agree with stu the first shot is really good as it shows whats going on instead of just an action shot of a car. The action shots are great but for write ups and that the main pictures will nearly always be a picture that shows the event as a whole. My only alterations to that would of been to either zoom out (or walk backwards 2-3 steps) to fit the top of the rostrum and get a bit of a margin around the other cars, aside from that the shot is pretty much perfect.
Thats one scary looking cat showtime!

Thanks - I can see how that rim lighting effect can be pretty cool. I just saw the lighting and just had a hunch that it'd work well. The oncoming shafts of light were just in the right place for the jump. Lucky.
I'm taking on board your suggestions about the framing, and will keep at it. Cheers!
