Yep - some runners in NC this week and the rest of team in Blacksburg


For those that don't follow track, the JDL Fast Track in is a fast flat track in North Carolina, which teams like to race when trying to get national qualifying times. The reason is that times on that track get adjusted favorably due to its lack of banked turns. In other words, a time of x on the JDL Fast Track gets adjusted by multiplying it by 0.985-0.995 to make it equivalent to a banked track time. A time of 2 minutes in the 800m race at JDL gets adjusted to a 1:58.98 banked-track equivalent.
