Oh yeah...that's it. Sorry, my memory is a bity fuzzy. For some reason I thought it was Tiff. I love seeing that video!

The challenge with a 500hp Atom will be keeping the rubber side down. Stout roll cage I trust.

Hey Motorheads,

Forget the Tee Time, grab your putter and drive! That crazy ride would be da bomb......It would make a smokin' open casket too.

I agree with Nefarious.

And to think that my little brother wants one of these:

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.
