The fastet I've had is 40.1 kph in B grade. I don't know what the A
grade speeds get up to there, perhpas 41-42 kph ?

The Kew circuit is the most brutal crit circuit we use in Melbourne
IMO. I would reccomend that a novice starts off at Gelnvale. I could
see a newbie not being able to hook into the bottom corner at Kew and
dropping a wheel going up the hill could find thmeself out the back in
a few laps. It's much easier to hang on at Gelnvale.
