Message: [QUOTE="uh-no, post: 5273538, member: 12993"] What? It's about 130m diagonally across the track. It takes sounds .35s or so to travel that distance. Me thinks you missed the day they taught pythagorean formula in math. Plus it's a curve, not a square with two 100m edges. The diagonal across a football field is a good estimate of the distance. Edit: Scoped it out on an actual track on google maps (Uconn's track fwiw). it's ~120m as the crow flies from where a starter should stand to start a 200m race to the finish line. This is .35s....as stated....nowhere near the .6 seconds you suggest. [/QUOTE]
