Bagpuss 10,780 Posted April 21, 2011 No it isn't. It's measured on a racing line 1 metre out from the kerb. Fair enough, I stand corrected. Still doesn't make it the most scientific way of measuring speed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Leslie 3,213 Posted April 21, 2011 Really? Looking at the Belle Vue website, Jason recorded 63.2 in heat 4 which was the fastest that was recorded - I would say that 62.3 in heat 12 was faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutz 132 Posted April 21, 2011 I would say that 62.3 in heat 12 was faster Me too!!!! Was just looking at the programme on the Belle Vue website, and the heat time entries stop at around heat 8 so never saw the heat times after this. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Blachshadow 2,937 Posted April 26, 2011 The track record at Mildenhall is actually 49.81. This was set by Kenneth Bjerre on Oct 31st 2007 in heat 5 of a four team tournament which included a Panthers' quartet of Niels-Kristian Iversen, Bjerre, Danny King and Claus Vissing. The track record was equalled in heat 1 (50.19 Iversen), lowered in heat 2 (50.17 Bjerre), lowered again in heat 4 (50.04 King) before finally being set in heat 5.
