thats a full 12 hrs on a bike...so roughly 21 hrs.
it's 2 solid days of riding ... but doable, even without ridiculous amounts of speeding. excessive speeding is against the Iron Butt Association's premise

he has 50 hrs officially, so until ~7am EST Friday. I think he'll be fine, even if he stops for a couple hrs at a rest stop.
