Interesting comment from Boardman on the American bikes - he's one person you'd trust to know what he's talking about on such matters.

Big old dent in the track there and a neat bit of gaffer tape rolling to pad the dent.

Was one of the steepest and shortest at the time - 333m and 37 degrees banking
Edit I think Harlow and Meadowbank may have been shorter and steeper

You can see why Britain track riding has developed so much with indoor velodromes in Glasgow, Manchester, Derby, Newport and London - They're even trying to raise funds for one in Inverness at the moment.
Calshot's been improved too I think?
It was so bad with the outdoor tracks and weather - In 1981 I had to wait 2 days fora pursuit ride and ended up riding it later than 10pm at night
I also had the choice of 6 tracks within an hours drive and track leagues on 3 nights/week - as long as it wasn't raining

Love it when you get riders with the same gearing in perfectly synchronised cadence (two of the Danes)
