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?

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? :wink:

I am sure laser-timed times from start to finish are correct. A guy with a stop-watch would depend on his reactions.

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!

:lol:

Hmm, can you imagine Mr. Golding given charge of a laser gun..??!!!  :unsure:

 

Doesn't bear thinking about Parsnips!

I was thinking in the context of one rider over four laps.

 

No different - timekeeper would still have to remember to throw the switch once rider had passed finishing line to start the last lap.
