Clipless pedals can often be upgraded with auxiliary toeclip strap eyelets, allowing you to use toe straps for extra security.  Some choose this method on the track where a “solid feel” and efficient power transfer during sprints is desired.
I’ve upgraded many pedals this way and you’re welcome to consult me on this option.

The velodrome racing season is right around the corner: Northbrook starts sessions in April, racing in May, Kenosha and Indianapolis follow a similar schedule and we should have a new practice track on the South Side by the Summer.
Make sure to check your equipment and perform any needed maintenance before the season starts.

Unfortunately- I don’t have any photos of the pedals with straps attached handy at this moment.
