The only way that track can be measured is down the middle of the road.

Many years ago Geoff Duke managed to get the course re-measured after he was denied the first 100mph lap, and he disputed the official measurement.

"In 1955 he won the Senior, and was declared the first rider to lap at 100mph, but this was corrected two laps later to 99.97mph."

It was a contentious issue then and still is.
