Default Ariel Atom vs Caterham

If you've always wanted to road race but were on a budget, these two machines are awesome. I've always wanted to do some track time with my cobra but the opportunity never arose. Admittedly, I don't have the nerve to drive close to the edge at high speed but would be willing to drive on the edge at speeds up to 60 mph.

I think I need to invoke the "pics or it didn't happen" rule here...

Posting photos on AO is beyond my computer skills. However, if you're sincerely interested in some photos of my cobra, I will e-mail them to you if you provide me with your address.

Always loved the super 7. Glad Caterham has kept this alive.

The Atom is insane, especially the V8 version!

Don't let being worried or scared stop you from fulfilling your dreams. Go somewhere and take the proper lessons and enjoy a wish.

Ive raced road bikes and loved it. I still race offroad, albeit more "fun" or challenging races than the full local scene, but still awesome fun.

Bobby check this out. I used to go to the EMRA and hardnox track days on motorcycle and will recommend it to anyone who has the equipment. Super fun way to spend a day with your car or bike.
