Anyone know what the "shallowest" turn a 250 can have? Most seem to be in the ~40-45 deg range, but could it be made more like 35 to make it a bit more friendly to new rider, but still the preferred size for major competitions? Or does making a 250 with a shallower banking ruin the elite racing appeal?
13 degrees as evidenced by the Win-Del track in southern Ontario (Windham Center).
This is where I learned to ride. Maximum speed of 55k/h in the sprinters lane, about 58 or so above it, otherwise you scraped your left pedal.
Fun fact: I once got ridden off the track by someone after the penultimate sprint in a points race (Juniors and Masters) in turn 1 by a fit, but new to the track Masters racer. Thank god for no rails here. I rode off the track, down and around the outside of the "berm", around the bleachers in the backstraight, and re-entered the back of the race going into turn 3 and just kept the momentum and adrenaline going by soloing around the pack.
That's my brag for this group.
