You've heard of banging wheels, well these guys bang handlebars and wheels.
I've only been to half miles and shorter tracks to see the bikes I'd like to go to one of the mile shows someday. Do yourself a favor and go to a mile bike race if you can!

The comment about the sprinters is the truth.
At the old half mile paper clip style Ascot track in Gardena the one lap track record was held be flat trackers. They were about a half a second faster than a sprint car. And unbelievable to watch there.
