Breaking News: Performance Therapy Contest Winners Announced at the 2009
SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
After an exciting three month contest, the Performance Therapy online car
show photo contest has come to a close. Nearly 1,000 enthusiasts from all
over the country submitted photos showing how they choose to enjoy their
vehicle, ranging from incredible racing and burnout shots to breathtaking
panoramics, incredible photoshop renderings and heartwarming family photos.
All told nearly ONE MILLION people voted for their favorites by clicking
photos, and a panel of Performance Therapy Contest sponsors poured over the
finalists and chose the winners.
"It was extremely difficult choosing a handful of photos out of the
avalanche of incredible images we received," said Performance Therapy
Contest sponsor and founder John Hotchkis. "We asked our friends in the car
community to support the idea that cars are meant to be enjoyed and driven,
and they responded in an overwhelming way. We couldn't be happier."
Without further ado, the winners are:
Grand Prize - John Paige, Delray Beach FL
Car Show - Jimmy Spears, Springfield MO
Garage Scene - Don Hendrick, Midlothian IL
Photochop - JR Caines, Kansas City MO
Action Shot - Joel Nordstrom, Stanwood WA
Racing - Steve Wall, Simi Valley CA
Family - Oliver Vinas, Cerritos CA
The grand prize winner will receive one system from each of the sponsors.
They are: Hotchkis Sport Suspension, Baer Brakes, Rushforth Wheels,
Yokohama Tires, Red Line Oil, Lifeline Fire Safety Systems, MSD Ignition,
Flowmaster and Hot Wheels.
Each category winner will receive a gift certificate. Runners-up, which
will be listed on the site by next week, will receive t-shirts. Wait to
post in the forums until the video is up on the PT Home Page.
Special thanks to Internet Brands, who supported the contest by sharing it
with its incredible network of enthusiast forums, some of the largest and
most influential enthusiast networks on the internet.
