KevH 257 Posted March 5, 2007 My understanding is that Emiliano Sanchez held the track record at the Claycountry Moto Park when it closed in 2003. Can anyone confirm this and also give the race time and date recorded please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liz !!! 128 Posted March 5, 2007 Emiliano Sanchez is the track record holder, it was set on 20th August 2002 and the time was 53.1 seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 24 Posted March 6, 2007 Kev, I've noticed that you seem to keep statistics on track records. I've always assumed race times to be wildly inaccurate. What do you reckon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you reckon? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're probably right about the inaccuracies Ian, after all, a human being with a stop-watch wasn't nature's intention, but the race times are official, so who are we to argue?

Bryn 413 Posted March 11, 2007 I am sure laser-timed times from start to finish are correct. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Assuming that the timekeeper remmbered to throw the switch when the fourth placed rider had passed the finishing line to start his last lap which didn't always happen I can assure you!

Bryn 413 Posted March 11, 2007 I was thinking in the context of one rider over four laps. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No different - timekeeper would still have to remember to throw the switch once rider had passed finishing line to start the last lap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
