There isn't a speed limit on THIS track. Whoever told you there was doesn't know the rules. (That said, 5 m/s is the practical maximum of speed that is controllable.)

Ryan--2004 and 2006 both had rules like that. 2004:10 fps on whatever contacted the bar. 2006: 12 m/s launch velocity on a poof ball. No other speed limits that I know about.
