24 hours of Daytona - 2015 - Lateral-g Forums

Ron Sutton · #1 01-24-2015, 07:02 PM

We're 5:40 hours into the event. I have 4 buddies running in DP cars. Joey Hand took the Lead for Ganassi & AJ Allmendinger is 4th for Michael Shank Racing. Correction: Hand in Ford/Riley DP. AJ is in the new Honda/Ligier combo. My other buddies are not doing so well. Dane Cameron is running 42nd in the #31 Whelen Corvette DP & Joel Miller is 37th (not driving this stint) in the Speedsource Mazda Daytona Prototype.

Love to see Joey or AJ win it. But pulling just as hard for Dane & Joel to rebound & have good finishes. Who are you pulling for?

I caught a couple hours earlier today and then the next segment went to another channel. Flipped through with the remote but couldn't find where it went. Hate when that happens.

I've been watching on and off all day! Will the TT EcoBoost motors last is my question.

Though last night I also read the Javelin chapter in Mark Donahue's Unfair Advantage discussing all the oiling issues they had with that AMX motor in the first season.

Good luck to all of them! It's a major commitment to field a team in Daytona let alone finish.

You know it. Running 24 hours hard is brutal.

Under 3 hours to go, with 4 powerful teams on the lead lap. The time that is left is still a pretty long race.

As they say, "anything can happen" ... but the odds are all 4 of those teams won't crash/break, so our winner is "probably" from that group of four:

#10 Wayne Taylor Corvette - Jordan Taylor, Ricky Taylor & Mad Max Angelelli
#02 Ganassi Riley/Ford - Scott Dixon, Tony Kanaan, Kyle Larson & Jamie McMurray
#01 - Ganassi Riley/Ford - Joey Hand, Scott Pruett, Charlie Kimball & Sage Karam
#5 Action Express Corvette - Christian Fittipaldi, Joao Barbosa & Sebastian Bourdais
