Week One
How the HPI Racer Gallery contest works: Each week, we will update the Racer Gallery with our most recent submissions, in the order we receive them. We will choose one submission each week (which can consist of multiple pictures of multiple cars) to be our Pick of the Week. You may enter the contest as many times as you wish (using different pictures and cars), however you may be Pick of the Week only once per year.
At the end of each month we will choose from the Pick of the Week our Pick of the Month. At the end of the year, we will choose from our Picks of the Month the Racer Gallery Pick of the Year! The owner of our Racer Gallery Pick of the Year will receive a free HPI kit for their efforts! Pick of the Year winners will be contacted by email. To be eligible for the 2003 Pick of the Year we must have your entry by December 1, 2003.
Please note that although your Racer Gallery submissions may not appear in the Racer Gallery immediately, be prepared to wait 2-4 weeks, depending on the amount of entries we receive. For hints and suggestions on how to make your car or truck look its best, see our R/C Photography Tips!

HPI,
I would like to include my pictures of an HPI Porsche 911 Turbo. This body is 200mm, with a custom flag paint job using Alclad II chrome stripes, shadowed Metallic Red stripes, and Metallic Blue. This is a variation of an American flag, with a killer twist. Instead of a standard blue swatch, flames have been used instead with Chrome stars and outlines. I have always been a Porsche fanatic!! I hope you do include this in your photo gallery. Thank you! Ken Newland, New Mexico |

| Here are "few"
pictures of my HPI RS4 rally. Some of the pictures are of the "kit"
silver Lancer in stock form with road tires. The other pictures
are the same chassis with shorter shocks and really wide(33mm) road
tires. I think the pictures look great, what else can you expect
from a great R/C car manufacture like HPI!!! Go HPI or go home!
Thank you Martin G. Lira |

| These are pictures of my brand new saleen S7 body that I purchased and painted myself. This is the first body I have ever painted, with the instructions from hpi and other sources painting is a breeze. The hpi decals are some of the best I have ever seen. I absolutely love the detail that hpi puts into their bodies. Alex Koch |
