Back when all racers were using Campy pedals Cinelli made the "monoblock"
cleat. It was a giant hunk of plastic that was affixed to the bottom of the
show and went inside the Campy pedal surrounding the pedal axle housing.
Impossible to walk on but really kept you in. You can see a picture at:

I designed a track pedal/cleat/shoe system that I can guarantee will never
pull out accidentally.

Basically, it's a 5/8" diameter bolt that goes through a block that is
permanently attached to the shoe with several bolts. A nut/washer is then
torqued on (135 to 140 foot-pounds) and you are ready to race.

The prototypes were a bit heavy ( 2.34 pounds each ) but they will not
unclip by accident. And what's a couple of pounds to a trackie?

By the way, if you have to ask what they cost, you can't afford them.
