Sparring with an Ariel Atom
Probably the most fun lap was this one- I had chased down my friend Richard in his Ariel Atom. He wiggled hard in Riverside, a big sweeper with speeds exceeding 100 mph. Shortly after that, I passed him and turned my personal best with him nipping at my heels. Richard and I have tracked together in the past, he's a solid driver that I trust. He set the fastest lap of the day with an impressive 1:51.9. This too was his personal best.
What's surprising is how well-matched our cars are on track, despite being polar opposites - mine a 3,850 LB muscle car, his a 1,300 Lb open wheel machine. Good times, can't wait to hit the track again!
