If modern day bikes truly are faster then why aren't track records broken these days?

On average they must be slower over the 4 laps, maybe because they are harder to control??

That is a valid point for all the tuning and money that is thrown at engines the actual bike speed is roughly the same as 20 years ago the 2 big differences are the speed of the back wheel and entry speed into the corners but the bike speed is roughly the same

Quality of tracks(amount and quality of shale) have changed though.

And untill speedway reaches the 1980s and uses transponders race times are at best a rough guide.

So many variables when you have some oldboy in the box with a stop watch.

For example Adam Ellis hold track record at Kent..... Watch the race on dvd, andhe is at least a second slower then the time given.
