Who wants to go?
They have 1 day for $1500 (Setp 3,4,6) or 1/2 day for $500 (Sept 5).

I gotta find out if they stick an instructor in the car w/ you or not, b/c if they do, that might be a deal breaker for me.

thats a hell of a lot of $$, considering skippy school is cheaper per track time, and is a real racing school.

Do you get to drive an atom?
While cool, I don't think the Atom is worth the premium. I'd rather do a full day in an F2000 for a grand again than go for the Atom... and there's no room for an instructor in the F2000.
Don't it seem weird that the pricing structure is 3x more for 2x the time? Maybe more track time in the afternoon?

Yea, I noticed that. I'd have to see a schedule and get a complete run down on how the day (or 1/2 day) runs out before I'd do it. I can't find any reviews of it online though...weird.
Here's the schedules,
Full day: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.arielatomexperience.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=171&Itemid=63">http://www.arielatomexperience.com/inde ... &Itemid=63</a><!-- m -->
1/2 Day: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.arielatomexperience.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=186&Itemid=84">http://www.arielatomexperience.com/inde ... &Itemid=84</a><!-- m -->
doesn't say if you can go solo on the 1/2 day or not...
Maybe the extra $ is for insurance 'cause you get a solo run in the afternoon.

Do you get to drive an atom? no, you get to drive a better car, a formula mazda.

I guess you are missing the point, but whatever, continue the hate.
the point of paying more money to drive a not as good car around? I guess I am. The atom is a super cool street car, but it doesnt compare to a real racecar.
*I* wouldnt do it for that money but if thats worth it to you then go for it! Im sure you will have fun!

I have no intentions that this is a 'racerkar school', yea I just want to drive one of the damn things, around a racetrack is all that much better  .

I don't think the price is all that bad provided you get a decent amount of seat time. Once you factor in the cost of fuel, tire wear, brakes, and other items, the price isn't bad.

ugh, find, you don't want to go, got it, move along.
I swear some of you guys argue just for the sake of arguing. He wants to drive a really cool car around for half a day, not go to a racing school, what's so hard to understand about that?

and if it wasnt open for discussion, he would have posted it to his blog, not a discussion board.
I know Chad well enough that Im pretty sure that he isnt getting all butthurt just because I dont agree with him once or twice.

well, technically my only question was 'who wants to go', all you had to do was say, no me and not crush my hopes and dreams of driving an atom with you right beside me :crying:
go ride your tractor, redneck!
