    I signed up for the VIR Atom Course driving on the Patriot portion of the track. Has anyone ever done this? It looks like a really good time.

    Heres a video I found

    Not me- but a well-driven Atom is faster than me in the Gallardo at VIR.

    I owned the one below.

    I never got to track it, so I can't comment.

    But, oh my, do I miss that car. I went through hoops to get it road legal in PA.

    I was the third Brammo customer after Jay Leno and another gentleman.

    I had back surgery in 2008 or so and couldn't drive it. Or even get into it.

    It now has a home in Chicagotown. I asked the owner if I could buy it back. He laughed.

    Sigh.

    Absolutely - we had two driving with us last year at VIR. One flew by most of us and the other didn't. Very driver dependent, but very capable of excellent lap times. Looks to me similar to driving a single seat racer - is the gear box sequential?
