#69 is in the 9th spot i believe as well.

 

#69 is now 9th in class, tremblay's car still 12th. still ~6hrs to go anyway

 

just noticed this thread. been watching the race since the start...well, i went to the movies an hour before speed stopped showing last night, but woke up early to watch the last several hours. what a race. i usualy watch 24hrs of lemans, but now im hooked on 24hrs of daytona....too bad about the 8s luck. and yeah, i agree, i wish they were up at the front so we could have a win, but also so we could see more of the onboard view. the 70 car sounds amazing. also, they were showing a side view for a while where you could see every shift or every time he let off the throttle it was flaming. awesome. did anyone see what happened with the racers edge team? why did they need to replace the windshield? also, i just saw an incar view of there car...are the GT cars all running sequential boxes too?

as for DP, some very interesting stuff happening there, but GT of course is way cooler. still, very interesting stuff. the fords are having some troubles it seems. also, i love seeing the speed of the service on these cars. last night when the gainsco team needed a new gearbox it took them like 5 mins to pull the bodywork off and swap it out. very cool

 

30-14th
70-12th
69-9th

 

As of 10 AM EST:

Speedsource #69 = 9th in class
Speedsource #70 = 12th in class
Racer's Edge #30 = 14th in class

#70 Just passed the #32 Pontiac to move up to 11th. #70 is 11 laps behind the next Porsche.

 

The 70 has now moved up to 11th in class!
the 69 is now 9th in class!

 

so how many laps behind the leading GT lap are the 69 and 70 cars?

 

The 69 car is 25 laps behind the lead GT car, 49 laps over all.
The 70 car is 46 laps behind, 60 laps over all.

 

i think the 69 car is 4 laps behind the car in front of him also.

 

thats depressing

 

The GT leader #86 is pulling off the track.

 

Want to get even more depressed? They are running a little under a 2 min lap. Thats 30 laps / hr. That means the #69 car is 1 hr behind the leader in GT.

 

AHAHAHA GT LEADER IS GOING DOWN!!!! BROKEN AXEL?
#86 KEVIN ROUSH PORSCHE GT3

 

That car is being towed to the pits "for safety reasons". They should be able to replace that broken axle in 1/2 hr or less.

 

As of 11 AM EST:

Speedsource #69 = 9th in class
Speedsource #70 = 12th in class
Racer's Edge #30 = 14th in class

 

cracked header on the 70! you gotta be kidding me! its all going wrong for speedsource. this is making me sad

 

70 car is in the pits with a cracked header

you guys are doing good never the less, keep it up speedsource!

 

Looks like the #68 is back on the track in 6th place.

 

I wouldn't mind the DPs so much if they weren't so hideous. I know the horrible roof lines are for safety, but the GTP cars of the 90s looked tons better.

 

Ah crap. The comeback was getting pretty impressive, considering. Oh well, lets hope they can finish in decent place for points. 69 still holdin steady.

 

I am still pissed witht he incident with the porch on cold tires vs the 69 rx8. how can the driver of the porche race his way thru the track, passes up the 69 car and all of sudden remembers he is on cold tires and decided to hit the brakes half way down the straight.

i bet porshce wanted to take out the 1 other main mazda out early, so they have a better chance of winning the race. i mean how many drivers race thru the track with colds on any ways? they usually take it easy for 3-5laps.

and also crossing fingers for Suntrust. i hope they win the overall

 

do you know if the 70 car is out due to work on the header or did they with draw form the race?

 

It's hard to tell via Timing & Scoring. They are loosing laps while under the caution.

 

12:33 John Doonan: The 70 car repaired the header...now a broken half shaft....
