They all have weird 'riding' positions (prone, etc) so I guess it's a bit of a compromise between an super compact aerodynamic shape and what someone can actually put power out in.

Ex Track riders might have some fun on the shorter speed trials, imagine Hoy putting down some massive watts.

I imagine most of the speeds are reached in fairly quick time?

I think that getting them up to speed is pretty tricky.

Problem is most trackies are big or at least wider than roadie sprinter types and that's going to hamper your aerodynamics. You've also got to spend a shit load of time developing power in whatever position your vehicle requires.
