One simple/cheap way of doing a 40 is by timing the run with a stopwatch. Set up 2 sets of cones 40 yards a part. Have a person start at one end, wait for him to begin then start the clock and end it when he is across the second set of cones. A more sophisticated way of doing the 40 is with a digital timing system like the one Sparq makes. Eastbay has it, the link is below. It's pretty expensive however.

According to statistics available, the fastest century recorded in One Day International is in 37 balls scored by Shahid Afrida.\n\nHe scored 102 runs in 40 balls with the help of 6 fours and 11 sixes in the 6th Match K.C.A. Centenary Tournament played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at Gymkhana Club Ground, Nairobi on 04.10.1996.\n\nPakistan won that match by 82 runs.  Afrida was the Man of the Match.

The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle is 268.831 km/h (167.043 mph), by Fred Rompelberg (The Netherlands) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA, on October 3, 1995. His record attempt was greatly assisted by the slipstream from his lead vehicle. Fred has been cycling professionally for nearly 30 years and during that time has held 11 world records.\n\nJeez, that is fast!

The fastest runner as a person or animal or insect?\n\nAustralian tiger beetles, genus Cicindela, subgenus Rivacindela, (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) are the fastest running insects known. The fastest, Cicindela hudsoni, can run 2.5 meters per second (5.6 miles per hour).\n\nThe fastest woman on Earth, and arguably the best female athlete in the world, Marion Jones can outrun just about anyone on the track. But she wasn't able to escape the heartbreak and anger that marred her childhood.\n\nTake a look at the fastest man in the world! On September 14, U.S. runner Tim Montgomery set a new world record in the 100-meter race. Montgomery, 27, outran the old time by one-hundredth of a second.

There is nothing like topspeed record holder but as I have observed F. Massi drove his Ferrari to a topspeed of 348.7kmph in Silverstone, British Grand Prix. I think the Renaults faster than Ferrari this year.

The Orb's 1992 hit "Blue Room" had a duration of 39 minutes and 58 seconds, two seconds shorter than the maximum permitted for a single under chart rules. There was, however, a second CD available which that featured shorter mixes. \n\nLongest Top 40 track not to have a shortened version on sale is also the Number One with the longest running-time; Oasis' "All Around The World" (1998). It has a duration of 9 minutes 38 seconds. \nThe longest 7" A-side - and available in only that format - was "Inside Looking Out" by Grand Funk Railroad. It is 9 mins 31 secs long and scraped into the Top 40 at no. 40 in Feb 1971.\n\nThe first Number 1 to have a playing time of more than four minutes was Harry Belafonte's "Mary's Boy Child" (1957; 4 mins 12 secs).

There is no official world record for 40 yards.\n\nThe shortest distance that the IAAF, track and field's international governing body, recognizes for world-record purposes is an indoor 50 meters, or about 54 yards. It is 5.56 seconds and it was set by Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey in 1996. There is also a world record for 60 meters -- 6.39 seconds by American Maurice Greene in 1998.\n\nBut it is another Canadian, Ben Johnson, who is believed to have run 40 yards faster than any human in history. Johnson is best known for injecting copious amounts of steroids and winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul in 9.79 seconds, only to have his gold medal and world record stripped after failing a post-race drug test.\n\nTiming officials have since broken down that famed race into 10-meter increments, and Johnson was so preposterously fast that he went through 50 meters in 5.52 seconds and 60 meters in 6.37 -- both under the current world records at those distances. He went through 40 yards that day in 4.38 seconds.\n\nHe was running in spikes . . . on a warm afternoon perfectly suited for sprinting . . . with a slight tailwind . . . with years of training from arguably track's top coach, Charlie Francis . . . with Carl Lewis and six others of the fastest men on the planet chasing him . . . with 69,000 people roaring at Seoul's Olympic Stadium . . . with hundreds of millions of people watching on TV . . . with the ultimate prize in sports, an Olympic gold medal, at stake.\n\nAnd, as we learned later, with muscles built with the assistance of the anabolic steroid stanazolol.\n\nFour-point-three-eight seconds.\n\nThen again, maybe Ben Johnson isn't the fastest 40-yard man in the world.\n\nMaybe half the NFL is faster.\n\no o o\n\nIt can be the most important few hours of a football player's career. It is the day NFL scouts come to campus to determine whether prospects have what it takes to play at the next level.\n\nPlayers are measured to the quarter-inch. They're weighed to the half-pound. They do a vertical jump and a standing broad jump. They see how many times they can bench-press 225 pounds. They do a 20-yard shuttle drill and something called a three-cone drill. They are put through a short workout specific to their position.\n\nBut it is something else that commands everyone's attention, something else that interrupts the businesslike atmosphere of players shuffling from one station to the next. Something else that causes scouts and spectators to snap to attention.\n\nThe 40-yard dash.\n\nIt is the day's shortest event, and the most critical. No other statistic carries more influence for an NFL prospect, no single number has more impact on his draft fortunes. It's not called Pro Scouting Day or Pro Prospect Day or Pro Workout Day. The sign taped to the weight-room door at San Diego State on March 19 says: "Pro Timing Day."\n\nOr as local football agent David Caravantes puts it: "There's football speed and there's 40 speed, and the scouts will all tell you they understand that and game film is the most important thing. But how many defensive backs who ran a 4.6 are left on the draft board ahead of guys who ran 4.3?\n\n"I'll give you another example. There's this DB who was originally projected as a first-rounder. But he didn't run the 40 that fast -- something like 4.6 instead of in the 4.4s -- and now they're talking about him slipping to the second round. Well, he's looking at a minimum $4 million signing bonus if he goes in the first round and only about $1.6 million if he goes in the middle of the second round.\n\n"You do the math."\n\nThe players are inside the SDSU weight room being measured and weighed. In the hallway outside are their agents, pacing. Nervously. Occasionally they'll walk outside, look up at the sky and stick out an upturned hand to feel the raindrops.\n\nThis is not good.

(m)\n\nAs of June 2000, the fastest running human is Michael Johnson, the American track and field star who on August 1, 1996 set the world record of running 200 meters in 19.32 seconds. Johnson, by doing this, won an Olympic title in Atlanta, Georgia and broke the longest standing field record of the time; Pietro Mennea's 1979 record of 19.72 seconds. Johnson's record can be calculated to equal 10.35 m/s or 37.267 km/h. Johnson's events also include the 400 meter run which he ran in 43.18 seconds ranking him number one in the world in 1999. This broke the 11-year old record of American Butch Reynolds (43.29s). In this category, Johnson was undefeated throughout his career with forty four consecutive victories. An interesting fact to know is that in the animal kingdom Michael Johnson would be considered relatively slow; the cheetah, one of the world's fastest land animals, can sustain a top speed of about 30 m/s or 100 km/h -- three times the speed Michael Johnson can achieve.

The fastest land speed record car is the British-designed Thrust SSC, the first car to break the sound barrier with a speed of 1227kph (around 761mph), or Mach 1.01.\n\nThe fastest production car in the world is the 1001bhp 16-cylinder Bugatti Veyron 16.4: 0-100kph in 2.5 seconds, top speed limited electronically at 407kph to prevent tire damage, the fastest accelerating production car at 100kph, 160kph(100mph), 200kph, 300kph and 320kph(200mph). Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson said that if a Veyron and a McLaren F1, the previous fastest car, were put on the line together, if the F1 would be going at 120mph when the Bugatti is at a standstill, it won't get to 200mph before the Veyron.\nIt's a truly amazing car.
