I took advantage of this splendid Texas December weather to run some laps with my new 2016 Ariel Atom company car, at Eagles Canyon Raceway near Decatur, Texas!



Got some great Gee !



Excellent lap times



And, maybe best of all, I did not have to do anything to the car all day except put some 91 octane in it! (Very important feature to me, after years of top fuel!!)

Thanks for looking. and

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Looks fun. Is ECR still bumpy?

FourFather

Yes, sir.

I turned the shock adjusters on all four corners several clicks toward soft, and the car and I both liked it better.

I have front and rear facing cameras, and was getting a LOT of suspension travel, even though the car weighs only 1350 pounds.

I like a lot firmer control at the much smoother Hallett Motor Raceway near Tulsa, so having very adjustable suspension is a real plus, when going from one track to the other!

That has to be a kick. Merry Christmas to you and the bride!

FourFather

Thanks, Les, Hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year. We hope your drought situation improves this year. Our drought here in North Texas, worst one ever, is finally over, and all our lakes and ponds are full, for the first time in quite a few years.

Ya reckon?


This is me running my streetable, two-seat, 2012 Ariel Atom 3 300HP demonstrator/company car, against single-seat race cars. At Hallett Motor Raceway, near Tulsa, Oklahoma.


And here I get the holeshot at the start of the Open Wheel final at Hallett, recently.

Thanks Eddie. If this year is as good as Christmas was we'll have it made. You have greater awareness than I do. I didn't realize you guys had suffered that much with the drought- glad you're good now. We've had a really good winter so far, so I hope it holds up.
That is not your first holeshot!

Mr turbo rotary

More HP is always better so I still say upgrade...

FourFather

Actually, my 2016 pictured here in post 1, is rated at 60 more HP than my 2012 model I was using in those videos, with no weight increase.

2012 model 300HP
2016 model 360HP

Is that enough upgrade?

If that is not enough, I DO still have some nitro left-
