Well as I stated earlier the Vandedrome is 125 at it's shortest with 53 degree banking so it's at least equal to the ones you list. The shortest velodrome I know of in Ghent is like 51-52 degree banking which is actually less. Is it a track that no longer exists? I'll be moving there in 4 months so I can find out for sure then. I heard of some tracks with over 60 degree banks but they were all for demos and not real racing. This page lists the Vandedrome as 54 and 170 http://members.aol.com/velodromes/Vandedrome
