I've kept it simple; in truth, because the bike rolls around a sector of a cone in the most steeply banked parts of the track, the wheelbase becomes material to the question of how fast you have to go to avoid pedal strike. At the fine scale, even rake and trail can have an influence, because the head tube rises and falls as the bike is steered.
