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.

Typically you’re encased in a carbon shell? So surely the biggest factor if you’re recumbent is shoulder width, and leg clearance?
So maybe someone more like Caleb Ewan or Coquard might be better suited for less width and volume, assuming they can hold 1000+ watts for a sufficiently long amount of time in the best aero position.
Ewan is basically in a reverse recumbent position as it is when he sprints.

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?
