500cc 309 Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Correct - it has now been officially acknowledged that Graversen's time was pure fiction. Record holder is now Kauko Nieminen 61.50 20 August v Glasgow Incidentally Ryan Fisher set the fastest time recorded by a visitor tonight at 61.59 Has always surprised me that extreme track records are never verified by match video. The entire Track Record History of Wimbledon's last track was incorrect (albeit for two heats). Wayne Barrett's first ever heat on the track was inaccurately recorded by between 4 and 5 seconds. He was heading into the River Wandle at the point the "track record" was recorded, not the finish line !!! So Martin Williams track record in Heat 3, Rory Schlein's a week or two later and finally Chris Neath's were never recognised. Why or why wasn't this verified. I understand that Wimbledon had wanted to build publicity around possible new track records, but it was never going to happen as this original heat was based on about 3 and two thirds of a lap. I should point out that the time keeper did an excellent job. This is the only glitch I'm aware of; but unfortunately it happened in the first ever heat on the new track. If this had happened later in the season, I guarantee you it would have been obvious to all regular followers that it was never that fast. Why or why didn't someone just check the video? It was a videoed match. Edited November 21, 2011 by 500cc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teddy2706 166 Posted March 20, 2012 Has anyone ever drawn up the tracks to scale and overlaid the drawings, it would be interesting to compare them? I wouldn't mind helping someone do this if anyone is interested and it hasn't been done before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutz 132 Posted April 10, 2012 Updated with Kauko Nieminen's record breaker of 61.47 on Saturday (knocking a whopping 0.03s off the old record!!!!!!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek 613 18 Posted April 12, 2012 Goodness - that's an admirable amount of detail!! For Stoke it is the NL Track Record counts and as has previously been said stands at: 62.6 held by Jamie Pickard (Stoke) 21 May 2011 & Simon Lambert (Stoke) 24 July 2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutz 132 Posted April 16, 2012 Amended to show the Old PL and the current NL track records at Loomer Road and also one or two "defunct" track records I knew... If you have any old nostalgic track records that you want to share from defunct tracks, let me know and I'll add them along the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lovey 20 Posted April 18, 2012 Updated with Kauko Nieminen's record breaker of 61.47 on Saturday (knocking a whopping 0.03s off the old record!!!!!!!) Electronic timing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutz 132 Posted April 20, 2012 Electronic timing? About as electronic, as a man holding a stopwatch can be!!! But it's the official record from the track, so irrespective of how it's measured, it's the time everyone has to beat I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teddy2706 166 Posted May 7, 2012 Ritchie Worrall broke the Stoke NL track record on Saturday night, @ 62.2secs. A blistering ride, well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutz 132 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Updated with Richie's new TR Incidentally, it'd still be good for some historians out there, that know of Track Records from sadly now defunct tracks...Adds a bit of nostalgia to proceedings!

berniev123 58 Posted May 12, 2012 Has anyone updated Dudley at 'Monmore Wood' NL track record? Adam Roynon (Dudley Heathens) clocked 56.76 in winning Heat 1 on Tuesday night, May 08, 2012, . He smashed well over half a second (closer to 0.8!) from Lee Smart’s previous Monmore Wood NL record set way back in 2010. Hope it is in the Dudley programme when we race against King's Lynne in our next match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nutz 132 Posted June 12, 2012 Not sure about that one oldsparky... Does anyone know what the length of the Dudley Wood circuit was? And also, can anyone from Plymouth confirm if Fish's TR on Friday night against Leicester was legit? 48.06s I hear, but that's 1.5secs quicker than previous!!!!/????
