I once read about track tandems and how they could hit, was it 60 mph

which top out at what, 45?
Now this leads an undisciplined imagination to conceive of a
Hubububwhatever on the track, capt and stoker in baggy seersucker and
MUSA shorts and bolt upright with sit up and beg 70 mm bars, pulling
away from the modern Nelson Vail. Sigh ....
I saw Nelson Vails captain a tandem at Trexlertown during a ETR back
some years ago. Everyone in the group swears we saw him burn rubber
when he decided to stop slow-racing and put down the hammer. Any chance
of an equally matched team on a HHH pulling away from a track racing
tandem? Sure - right up to the moment the team on the racing tandem
drops the hammer. And then it's Objectts in the Rear View Mirror
