    Also, I wonder if nitrogenmustard's time is taken from a standing start, not a flying start (makes a big difference).

    Not a BIG difference. Only 4-5 seconds. This is the time a pursuiter allows for when plotting his/her race strategy.

    15 year old nitrogenmustard claims to have ridden 1.07.300 on a concrete outdoor track using a 92.6" gear. Concrete is not as fast as boards. Outdoor any wind ends up a net detriment because of the exponential outcome when riding into the wind (if you go in a circle you must meet the wind head on somewhere)

    It's dodgy.
    1.07 is absolutely flying outdoors on concrete fora senior rider.
