JULY 2007: AROUND THE STATE, DISPATCHES
ASHLAND
House Bill 3527, approved by the Legislature in early June,
allows the Ariel Atom, a sports car manufactured by Brammo
Motorsports, on the road. Starting next year drivers will be
able to purchase a special registration tag limited to a
30-mile radius of the Brammo dealership or shop and a 90-mile
radius of a racetrack. While the legislation will make things
easier for Oregon owners of the Atom, of more importance to
Ashland-based Brammo is that prospective buyers will be able to
take a test drive. Out- of-state buyers from places like
California, Washington and Arizona, where the cars are already
street legal, also will be able to obtain a travel permit to
drive the vehicle home.
