11.4 - Applesteak can be good, under certain condition though!
I would certainly echo your sentiments and suggest a different pedal option for the track. I do know a few people who rode Eggbeaters at the track, and have watched them unclip in sprint situations. I had a set of road-based Speedplays and frequently came out of them - so I switched to the track-specific Speedplays and have had great success with them.
