Oh and I have been caught in the rain. That is when you appreciate neutral handling!!!! It was actually a lot of fun, ... well other than being pelted in the face by heavy rain.
The amount I am laughing at you right now is amazing!
I am fairly sure that most of the Puget Sound Atom's have been down Northup at one point or another. Three that I know of are red, but, none of them have a black frame. There is an orange one with a dark gray frame. I had a seat cover made for mine by Dave at Car Nutz across the street from you last year.

Atom's are quick!, but, not really fast. I think that a brick has better aero. When you get up above 100mph you start getting the snot knocked out of you. 135 mph, I want the wing option. I, for one, have not run the quarter

Ah it is less wind than a motorcycle 
Suck it up.
Where a full face helmet...see if those windscreens are something from a motorcycle parts bin, if they are order two double bubbles, if they aren't call up puig.

I actually sold all of my bikes after buying the Atom, just didn't ride them anymore. I still believe that a bike has better aero ...
They have aero similarities of a bus.
It is the reasons why car's have higher top speeds...do you wear a helmet at all?
Feeling more wind does not mean the aerodynamic qualities are crappy
If I am just driving around, no I do not wear one. If I am at the track or going to sustain speeds for a while, yes I do. Remember that an Atom has more frontal area, has tubes that all catch air, four tires all out in the air and unless it has the wing option no air control what so ever. Yes, most cars do have much better areo than bikes, just not most Atom's

Hey, what's going on in this thread? Wanna race?
They guy that got the wings made 6 second better laps at Hallet racetrack. They do work.
You are getting the same return flow system I have. High pressure pump, aeromotive pressure regulator and custom return flow off the fuel rail with shiny steel braided lines

OK, ... OK, I have posted some pictures in "my pictures".
I have also been asked about the high pressure fuel system. I really don't know the particulars on this ... The installer does. I do know that we have installed 60lb injectors, LS4 throttle body, high pressure fuel pump, regulator and filter. If specifics are needed, I will have to get back to you on that.

I'm hoping I can get my car to Hallet this year. I'd have to truck it there and the cost is probably going to be crazy. Though Gage offered to drive it there and back.
Rain's is my fault. I washed the car on sunday.

I am still hoping that TMI does the car hauler. I will undoubtedly see you at PIR or Spring Valley regardless. I am looking for a trailer to haul behind my Sprinter, but, it has to be light and enclosed.

I bet that was you that drove past my house this last summer. I was like what the heck is that sound then I saw the Atom cruz past. I live just off of Jovita, on the road that everyone takes the shortcut to Military Rd. on. If that was you, do you know a guy over in your area that drives a blue 66 or 67 nova, I use to see it rumble by the house all the time and one day followed him out to the Lk Tapps area
