Yeah, they said the laps were between 13-16 minutes. That's crazy short! :eek:

Now that's plain ridiculous, someone needs to clue in the promotors on just how 24 Hour races should go.:monkey:

I can't believe people were just doing 1 lap runs. Seems like 3 or 4 laps would have been a lot more time efficient. :confused:

No kidding. A "typical" 24 hour race has laps that last around 1 to 1.5 hours. That way, people can rest enough in between laps.

True. An hour at a time probably would have been optimum.
