I'm not that 2500w guy and I'm still "slow" at the turn 1 entrance, and had two "swinging front" experiences last year at this kind of velodrome.
Didn't crash, but "cut" power, floated some meters, delayed acceleration, and got a poor time.
Doing this with some aluminum dust (from roller drums) on the tire is also a bad idea..
White vinegar on a piece of fabric, and it's all?
