I haven't read through all the other posts but didn't I hear them say Thursday after the first heat that Tatnell set a new 10 lap record. Did I hear that correctly? It was hard to hear everything being announced. Doesn't he also hold the single lap record?

shows us that Brooke does indeed hold the 1 lap track record

1 lap......14.407...Brooke Tatnell May 6, 2006

The track records part of the website has not been updated since the Nationals, but......

provides the answers. Since the heat race times are not in the rundown that Bob Wilson types up on the fly, here is what shows in Bob's media report at the bottom of the page.

Heat 1, 10 laps, 2:35.6 (New Track Record): 1. Brooke Tatnell

One thing to note while looking at the track records.....Doug Wolfgang's 22 lap record of 6:42.7 on August 18, 1990 was set from the LAST ROW while he was playing alphabet soup! Of all of Doug's accomplishment's I have been reminded of while reading Lone Wolf, that one was omitted but stands out most in my mind. I didn't get to see any of his non-Knoxville wins, but that one was incredible.
