Who would win in a drag race between an Ariel Atom and a powerful snowmobile on an ice runway?
ACE Performance, the Northeast dealer of the Ariel Atom, partnered with Woody’s Traction to bring you this showdown. We took the Ariel Atom, a proven high performance road and track supercar, out of its element, equipped it with Woody’s Grip-It Twist Screws, and matched it against a Polaris 800 Rush Pro-S snowmobile. This unique contest called for a unique location, so we headed to the ice runway in Alton Bay, NH, the only FAA approved airport on ice in the contiguous United States.
In between the landing of planes, we settled the matter.
Who won? You’ll have to see for yourself…
