18.88 and 10.88

Those 2 numbers represent something very important.

For years, they've been up there for a long time, not yet broken.

18.88 represents Stephen Alfred's Flying Lap timed by Kevin Worley. He averaged 40 mph for one lap.

10.88 represents Former National Champion Jeff Solt's 200tt with an average of 41 mph for 200 meters.

2007 American Velodrome Challenge - Josiah Ng proclaimed himself ready to break those records with all of the aero gear.

He came very close - 10.89 (40 mph) and 18.89 (39.5 mph).

Now Adam "Silent Assassin" Duvendeck has proclaimed himself ready to break those records. He's been consistently the fastest American in this country. A lot of people are predicting him to be the first American to go under 10 seconds in few years before 2012 London Olympics.
