Wandering a little off thread here, but -
I remember reading in an SCCA mag a while back that there was great hope among the track crowd that the next generation of track toys would be the combination of a simple frame (like the Areil) with a rear hung motorcycle engine & trans, making a lightweight, slick handling, yet reasonably affordable track toy. Clutchless shifting too. The concept is sort of a Formula Vee re-visited, but drawing on the large pool of used bike engines out there.
