When I get a bike I will be FAGATT.

Fabulously All Gear All The Time.

I would like a bike... but not in this area. This would be a good replacement...

the only problem in one of those is you'd be hit with every type of flying debris known and unknown to mankind. I spoke to an Aerial Atom owner at Katie's Coffee meet. He had the windscreen as well and said you absolutely must have the helmet with full faceshield and then you still catch stuff coming up into your face/body as was the case on I-495. He said, semi trucks were very bad. That would just suck. But it would be hell of a lot of fun to have for the track!

Its even more pronounced due to your face being much lower to the ground. The windscreen and side panels do help a lot though. Here is one with them installed:

Last year I had floated the idea of a group of us headed to VIR to either track our cars or to drive the Atom. Not necessarily cheap but its the only Aerial Atom package available in the country and its near us. They offer a half day and a full day track package:

Half-Day Level 1 $525/Person

Three 15 minute session on the VIR Patriot Course
Introductory Classroom Session on Performance Driving and Safety
Well Planned Lead/Follow Sessions behind an Ariel Atom Pace car


Full-Day Level 2 $1695/Person

Four 20 minute sessions on the VIR South Course
Two 30 Minute Advanced Classroom Sessions on High Performance Driving, Advanced Car Control and Safety
Afternoon Sessions are Open Controlled Lapping with no Pace Car
One-on-One instructor briefing

That price is really not that bad... I wonder if Caterham 7s would be cheaper. I know they ran a whole series with them...

Doh. I just realized that would be with our own cars...

:iagree: that's not bad at all. Especially the half-day package.

Yes, I think it is an excellent deal to be able to drive the Atom at VIR. Once we do the Karting event I can always look into it further to gauge the interest level of the MAZOC group.
