I think my eyes are about to start bleeding!

Sorry, but they don't do anything for me. I'd quite like to see the original images as they look quite good action shots, but the HDR on these really isn't my thing.

Nice captures of the cars, but the HDR isn't working for me on these.

If you were going for a colored pencil type look than I'd say these are ok, #2 being the best.

Shots themselves look like they have potential. I too would like to see the originals.

I really like to see action shots - that's just me

For comparison, this is what one of the cars looks like without post-processing.

If you didn't take more than one shot, it's not HDR. Being that these are action shots, I seriously doubt you combined more than one exposure.

Sorry, but tone-mapping one exposure just looks totally gross to me.

EDIT: However, those originals look great. Maybe a small levels/curves adjust and they're great.
