How can track have a "NL track record"? This is another reason why I can't take track records serious. The track, is the track,it has a record. My other issue is it's normally recorded by a man with a stop watch, if his reaction are so good he can time heats with any accuracy he should be on a bike racing!

Yawn, here we go again. Agreed, it's not completely accurate but it's the only form of timing we have in this country. It still acts as a fairly good indicator as to the speed of riders. Hell, we can't even get a 2min countdown timer on the centre green so we're never going to get the necessary equipment fitted to the bikes and tracks to be 100% accurate.

 

As for there being NL track records? It's not an indicator of the track, more the calibre of riders in the different leagues.

** Thanks for the updates guys... I'll get them added along with a couple of the EL (notably Leicester) ones as soon as I get 5mins!!!

NL track record for Perry Barr set by Max Clegg in heat 1 18.03.15 - 61.00 seconds

That was at our AWAY match, so it is Birmingham's T/R.

Cradley's NL T/R was set by Lee Smart riding for Dudley/Cradley back in September 2010 at an incredible 58.60 seconds! No Cradley rider has got any where near this since we started at Perry Barr this year, in fact I think Max at 60.1 & Ellis Perks at 60.2 are the fastest on a Cradley night.

Are track records important, I find it tedious if a rider is half a lap ahead of the rest, prefer closer racing with skill, than a sprint

Yes and no, they are an indicator of in my opinion track condition....

you cannot fly around a bump and rut infested or under-watered dust fest or on over-watered slop....

So track conditions play a part,

in my opinion...

Just straighten the track out, and call it lets say a Drag Strip

 

Yeah, because it takes as much skill to go quickly down a straight road as it does to complete 4 laps of a shale track on a bike that's wanting to pull your arms off - oh and lets throw another 3 guys on there at the same time to make it interesting...
