I just tried it on my track and field cocktail, and if I hold one button down and tap the other, the player doesn't run. So this might not be a mame issue. We get the speed bar all the way to the top fairly often though, without cheating. I tried playing it on my MAME once and it was difficult because I have microswitch buttons on it, and the original has leaf switches, which bounce back better and also only make contact near the bottom of the stroke. This might be the issue you're having.

Thats very interesting I might have to change my buttons to leaf switches then? Just so I know what is the main difference between microswitches and these leaf switches and are there benefits between the two different types? Im also considering getting a new encoder any suggestions/ reccomendations people? Cheers

Um...this question is going to appear a little patronizing but...have you got your buttons setup correctly in MAME?
MAME lists 3 buttons for each player for Track and Field:
Button 1 = Run
Button 2 = Jump/Throw
Button 3 = Run
I realize that this would be obvious as soon as you got to the longjump or javelin screen but thought I would throw the question out there anyway.
I just tried it with my PC keyboard and was able to run the 100m in 9.84 sec with a speed over 1000 (and I am crappy at Track and Field because my hands are not as steady as they used to be.)

Yes buttons are all configured correctly I think that maybe the problem lies else where but cant be sure someone mentioned leaf switches and possible mame/ pc settings and also encoder so not sure where the problem lies. I'll try playing with keyboard and if I get good scores then i'll know that something needs to be changed.
***UPDATE*** Something definately needs changing as I can play the game perfect with keyboard
