It's not just superbike racers. On any given sunday, somewhere there are average Joe racers doing their 1 hour open practice session before the races of the day. Yea... most don't make it the entire hour but a few do. 53 minutes is my max so far. I might have made the entire hour yesterday if I wasn't running a bit late at registration.
