FourFather Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) At Eagles Canyon Raceway Saturday Feb. 26, Eddie Hill will be running, showing, and telling about his new Ariel Atom 3 demonstrator. The track is about 12 miles northeast of Decatur, Tx., on highway 51, and the forecast is for mid-70's and mostly sunny. It is a fun track, with friendly folks, and the new Atom is great! Love to have you! http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/FourFather/Eddie%20Hill%20Ariel%20Atom/Eddie%20Hill%202011%20Ariel%20Atom%203/IMG_0047-1.jpg Eddie:flag: Edited February 24, 2011 by FourFather
FourFather Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 I wish you could, too-- it's a HOOT!:hurray: Eddie
WestTexasS2K Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Eddie I was really hoping to come tomorrow but I have the flu so I will be staying home.
Hank Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 At only 8 hours away it's tempting, but I'm finishing up a few websites this weekend for clients. Have fun Eddie! Please post videos later.
FourFather Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 My TraqMate data recorder gave me the following info from my best lap in the last session at Eagles Canyon last Saturday. Lap time 1:58.2 Maximum gee: Braking-1.45 Accelerating 1.08 Right gee (turning left) 2.20 Left gee (turning right) 1.98 This on my company demonstrator, a 2011 Ariel Atom 3. I put new Hoosier A6 tires on the stock wheels, but NO other changes or adjustments. The alignment, ride height, suspension settings, engine, etc. all just as it came. That is very close to my best times with my modified Atom II with the huge Formula Atlantic slicks on it! I am VERY HAPPY with this new Atom 3!!:hurray::cheers: Eddie:flag:
slngsht Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Over 1g in acceleration!!!! Eddie, I know 1g in acceleration ain't no big deal to you... but for the rest of us... LOL
FourFather Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Here is the gee graph on my new 2011 Ariel Atom 3, at Eagles Canyon Raceway last Saturday. The inner circle is 1.25 gee and the outer circle is 2.5 gee. The Atom 3 is completely stock with no adjustments or modifications at all, except for the Hoosier A6's that I put on the original-equip wheels. This shows two laps in the 1:59's and one lap at 1:58.2. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/FourFather/Eddie%20Hill%20Ariel%20Atom/Eddie%20Hill%202011%20Ariel%20Atom%203/2011_Ariel_Atom_3_gee_graph_Eagles_Canyon_1_58.jpg It is hard for me to put into words how much fun I'm having at the Eagles Canyon and Hallett road courses!:hurray: Eddie:)

WestTexasS2K Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I just got this info a few days ago. I will post in the sw events area.
HOTTTCAR Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 OK. So did i. Sorry the "Southwest Atoms festival" lost me..... thought it was like the annual one at Hallet. See you there! John's bringing his V-8 7 Yours ready? Gale
WestTexasS2K Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hopefully Kevin will make it with Mojito. I don't know if John is coming or not. I will make sure he knows it's happening.
WestTexasS2K Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hotttcar you get that beast finished yet? I want a ride if you bring it.
HOTTTCAR Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 John and Denise are coming also...talked to him a couple of days ago. Don't know if our car will be ready in time. The fiberglass work is taking longer than i expected. We may get it to the point we can bring it but it won't be finished. If not we will bring Joe's car again. It will b great to get Kevin and John on the track togather again. That should b a race. Gale
