I hear ya, man. I just don't think that a database of "all things track" is something that I want to do.
Have you been to FixedGearFever.com? It's a lot more track-specific (actually, track ONLY) and there are lots of Masters, Elite, and World Class athletes and coaches that post there. There is LOTS to read and read and read. If you post a beginner question, post it in the beginner forum.
