An athletic field is a 40 yd-by-80 yd rectangle, with a semicircle at each of the short sides. A running track 20 yd wide surrounds the field. If the track is divided into eight lanes of equal width, with lane 1 being the inner-most and lane 8 being the outer-most lane, what is the distance around the track along the inside edge of each lane?
