So, what is it?

I do my sprints at sea level (so it's slower). So supply:

- the altitude of your track
- the type of track (eg wood/concrete). Wood is faster, yes?
- gears used
- physical specs if you like
- your bike (discs/frame)

my time is 12.4 on an 88.2 on a pretty trashy bike on a concrete track at sea level. I'm interested to see how much difference altitude, type of track and gearing makes on the flying 200m.

My average cadence on the 200 works out to 137 rev/min. Too high?

Zircon,
I don't guess many of the trackies visit the commuting forum too often. Try your post over in Road Bike Racing. Some of the racers also do track.
Regards,
Raymond

and how much weight you have in your panniers, when I get loaded down with books, it feels like 20 extra lbs :D

Does drafting behind a semi count?
