Modern time keeping devices can already record to the finest "point of one second" when timing a performance, whether it is in Motor Racing or on an Athletics track.
Would it not bring new interest to athletics (and maybe other sports as well) if "flying starts" were permitted in "100 meter time trials" ? Would such a new 100 meters record with a flying start not be nearer 8 seconds ?
If at selected major athletics meetings, during a trial period of time, the "first three past the post" were each invited to try a "flying start time trial", would that not quickly reveal if such an event arouses public interest ?
