Did the Michigan State Track TT's this past Saturday. They have yet to post final results but I did set track records for the 60+ Men in all three events, including knocking 25" off the 2K Pursuit record. The track is 200 meters with 40 degree banking. I had a difficult time powering through the turns, and on the Flying 200 had to back off due to a front wheel wobble at full go. I believe part of the turn issue was driver error with me pulling on the bar and part was a dirty/gunky headset that I discovered on Sunday. I switch between aero and sprint bars often and I believe debris in both headset bearings allowed a little play. I would have a good line in the turns then the bike would drift up or down causing me to correct it all the time and not concentrate on "speed". The power files for the 500 and 2k look like upside down saw blades.
