WOW!
In the hundreds of motocrosses I've raced, I've never even heard of a 24
hour motorcross race. Even back in the sixties when the motos were longer
than they are now, a one hour heat was fairly rare (in the States)and an
incredibly grueling test of strength. My last race last year had
twentyfive minute motos and I was not the only wobbly-legged air-sucking
puke back in the pits. A 24 hour Motocross must eclipse the energy output
of the Iron Man by a factor of a bunch.
