IainB Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I can see a lot more track records going when the transponders start being used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high edge Posted June 13, 2024 Report Share Posted June 13, 2024 i have timed Jack Holders track record on the vidio and have timed Ricky Ashworth on the vidio Rickys time was right but Jacks comes out at 62.19 just how was it timed stop watch or transponders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this isn't really true but you know what I mean. On the subject of Sheffield's track record, I have often thought that it was appropriate that Ricky Ashworth would probably remain as the named track record in Sheffield's race programmes forever. I wasn't aware that Jack had posted a new TR (and neither do Sheffield, apparently, as Ricky is still named as the TR holder on their website). But the discrepancy between the new official time of 58.92 and the 62.19 high edge says he has timed "by hand" from the video, is not a small amount. Can the video replay speed be a factor? I really hope that it's not a function of using transponders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Apparently Anders Rowe set a new track record at Sheffield tonight of 56.79. On a very dusty track I'm very dubious of this being legit. Not doubting Anders' ability at all, but something isn't adding up to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And well over 5 seconds off Ricky's old record. Yeh, right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago All these disputes about race times and referees watching replays of close finishes is a mystery to me. I thought all bikes are supposed to have transponders now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago It was later announced that Anders time was null and void due to a faulty transponder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack's to check then and we can re-establish Ricky's record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Well,Jack's time might be legit,Chris went round in 59.79 earlier and the track was really grippy that that evening.Tai was struggling to keep up with Jack in that race! http://www.sheffield-tigers.co.uk/birp130052024.html The times were quick all night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
