Interestingly, the fastest time also was one of the earliest, set at 37.93 seconds by the late Ivan Tighe in a Chevron B37 single-seater at the second Sprints in 1997.
Subsequent track changes and unfavourable weather have meant a new record is still 1.86 sec. away for the fastest current runner, Dean Amos.
