Well, I'm small and stout at 5'6" and about 165 or 160 depending on the time of year and my best times of the year were within a few hundredths of one another at Rock Hill and Major Taylor. I'm not totally sure but I think Bill Clay, who wasn't massive by sprinter standards, holds the F200 records at Major Taylor. At least I don't recall him as being massive (versus guys like Curt Hartnett and Nothstein). There may be an efficient market hypothesis we could form. I have to think at an elite level, riders will adjust their wind up to accommodate mass and minimize energy expenditure to get to the rail for a given track.
