I know of one case where a race was rescheduled to be 15 minutes later than "on the hour" due to a server glitch. So it can certainly be done. I think the problem is that a 20 minute race actually takes about 40 minutes or so in total, depending on the typical lap time of the track. 5 minute initialization (includes practice time), 10 minute qualifying, 1 minute pre-race, 20 minute race, then ? for the final lap of the race leader, then I think 3 or 5 minutes to let the rest of the field finish one more lap. So like 41-45. 1 hour races essentially take up 1.5 hours?

I too do not know about the back end setup of any of this, but I imagine he's kind of got things where he wants them and there would have to be a massive problem for something to change at this point. I can't even talk him into underlining hyperlinks on these forums so people can see what to click on.
