squall Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Whoever held it before Gravesen's false time, although I believe even that one is dubious, so the one before that. Only in speedway! Just give it back to Skidmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 It should be Ben barker but although it wasn't announced I reckon kauko niemenen just beat bens time last Sunday in heat 1 62.03. So for me kauko is the new track record holder cos there is no way gravesen or bager did the times that were read out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniev123 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think that Adam Allott is now the TR holder at Monmore in the NL. He clocked it in Heat 3 of the 2011 Golden Hammer and was announced to the crowd as such. Hope I'm wrong as it would take it away from Lee Smart (Dudley 2010)& his TR for the NL at Monmore.

Nutz Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Updated to reflect Richard Lawson's and Seb Alden's record breaking races over the weekend at Glasgow and Berwick respectively. As for Adam Allot, it stil states on the Dudley website that Lee holds the track record... I'll leave it at that one for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an accurate time-keeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I understand that the Stoke track record has been amended in the programme to reflect their NL status. Acknowledgement of previous record holders is still printed, but the race record for NL is shown as 62.6 seconds jointly credited between Simon Lambert and Jamie Pickard.

Many thanks for the contribution... Do you have a date when Simon and Jamie achieved their records? And also, can you advise who the PL track record holder is? I'm assuming it's still Ty Proctor, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes I heard about that. But Jan Gravesen is not the Leicester track record holder. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500cc Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek 613 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutz Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ritchie Worrall broke the Stoke NL track record on Saturday night, @ 62.2secs. A blistering ride, well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share 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!
