Could you fill in some of the details for me, eg gearing, where you started the wind up, any time spent out of saddle on the wind up and for how long etc etc??
Reason I'm interested is we run a similar flying lap thing down at Calshot track which is close in spec to the FCV track (145m, 45deg, wooden, indoors). The official record is somewhere between 9.2-9.3s. I've got my time down to 9.75 last w/e using a cadence-based approach (48x16) which is the fastest of the group I usually ride with down there, but I need some advice/hints to take it to the next level and attack that record! Also, seems like a slow record time comapred to the FCV, given that the track is only approx 8m longer... Can different transitions etc on 2 similarly specced tracks make that much difference??
