Some interesting black and white car racing transformations

What do you do when you're still not healthy enough to get new captures, and just too dang busy to get them even if you were? You break out your tool box on older photos and start having fun with Topaz B&W.

C&C welcome.

I think #1 is the best image you have ever posted.

Thanks! I like the Topaz B&W toolkit a lot. But I've found that you really need to be patient and try lots of stuff. Each image really needs its own recipe. What worked for image 1 usually doesn't work for my others.

I like the processing for a change of pace. Not sure I could handle a steady diet of it though. #1 is probably my favorite. I've never shot any motorsports so this is totally an uninformed viewpoint - why the tilt so the cars are going up? I know it creates diagonal lines but is seems a bit off to me.
