Eddie "FourFather" Hill's new 2016 Ariel Atom Turbo on track

[ByeEnzo]

I did a 37 hr Chumpcars enduro there last November. Yes, 37 hours...7 am to 8 pm the next night. Raining and 30 degrees. Froze my arse. 7 driver team. Our '80 RX-7 finished 6th. It is a bumpy track, especially the hairpin at the top end of the course. Beats up the suspension pretty good.

No kidding! This is my 10th year of doing Ariel road racing as my main source of motorsporting fun, and for the first year or so, my neck was SORE! on Monday, after two days of fun, with five fifteen minute sessions each, on Saturday and Sunday! My neck muscles really appreciate the lightest carbon fiber helmet I was able to find! :wink

I can imagine..!!

I took advantage of this great December weather by lapping my new Turbo Atom at Eagles Canyon Raceway-







Good Gee, and Big Fun! And it is really sweet to be able to go fast but not have to work on the car! :biggrin

(Especially for a retired top fuel pilot!) :lol

Thanks for looking, and,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

We've run Eagles Canyon in our LeMons Mustang. A really fun track, lots of elevation change and funky off-camber turns. Also, some unusual places for overtaking opportunities. Bumpy as hell in places though, and a couple of corners give a big chance to stuff into something hard if you go off track.
