Attention all White Lightning owners!
In my ongoing commitment in maintaining the greatest W/L resource,
Lightninglane.com , I invite any and all of you to participate in a contest.
The contest rules are simple:
If you have a complete set of w/l's from any Johnny Lightning release or
promotional or exclusive w/l's, I will let you submit all of the pics for that
section of my website. I ask only that the pictures be uniform in appearance;
the group looks better when presented in the same format. Here is what I am
looking for:
1
"full card" view of each car (most important)
1
close up of each car for a thumbnail can be submitted for an extra point for
each close up submitted.
You may take liberty with the full card pics,
such as cutting and pasting to better show the w/l traits. One recent picture
contributor stated that Paintbrush worked best for him, but I will let you
decide how best to present your collection, if you decide to try this please
include it separately from the other pictures.
**box sets will only need a single pic of the box and one thumbnail pic for
each car**
Send all pics here:
LIGHTNINGLANE.COM@cox.net
and please include a brief disclosure statement
releasing the pictures to me for use on the website.
Even though the website is almost entirely dedicated to white lightning's, I
do have a section for "Rubber Tire" variations in case you would like to share
your pics of those too.
While I encourage people to take care in the use of their property, in this
case pictures, it is entirely up to you if you want to put your name/logo on
the pics, but please keep it secondary to the subject matter. In other words,
please don't make your name/logo too prominent or place it in a manner that
obstructs the view of the car or card artwork.
Come by the website and take a look at the recently updated series for a
better idea of what I am looking for in a picture. I would like to see the
entire website done in this style, even if it means replacing a lot of
existing pics from so many helpful people from these past many years. Not
wanting to hurt anyone's feelings who have contributed in the past, just
trying to make the appearance of the site a little more uniform and helpful to
everybody. Also, be sure to check the website periodically through the contest
to make sure that you are not duplicating your efforts with someone else who
may have previously submitted pics in this new format.
Scoring:
1 point will be awarded for each picture (full card=1 point, thumbnail=1
point). A set of four individual cars would receive 4 points and a complete
ten car box set of w/l's would receive 10 points. It's the only way to be
fair. In the rare case of duplicate submissions, the earliest time/date will
receive the points. I will do my best to keep the website updated to help
prevent any such duplication of effort.
Now the fun part:
Submit your pictures from now until midnight on December
15th, 2008. The person having the most points will receive this:
1st Place![]()
One 2008 LightningLane.com Holiday Car Exclusive White Lightning and their name on the Registry of Owners on Lightning Lane, they will also receive one of each version of the regular versions of the 2008 Holiday Car and $50 credit to purchase any car or cars using the NEW Add to cart feature on Lightning Lane.

*ALL WINNERS NAMES WILL BE
POSTED ON THE LIGHTNING LANE
*ALL SERIES OR SINGLE PROMOS WILL BE
ACCEPTED EXCEPT FOR SERIES ALREADY ON THE NEWLY UPDATED SECTION ON THE FRONT
PAGE OF LIGHTNING LANE.
And don't worry if you only have one or two complete sets, you never know when
or where lightning will strike in the form of a nice "Thank You from Lightning
Lane". After all the contest will be running almost to Christmas and I just
might have a random drawing or two - a little something to stuff in your
stocking.
So, what are you doing still reading this? Get started on your pics! Christmas
is only eight months away!
Thank you and have fun,
Greg
