Daytona 24 Hours - 3 1/2 Hour Check-In

Just a quick check in here, as we hit the 3 1/2 hour mark of the 24 Hours of Daytona. So far, it's seemed like a semi-chaotic race, with several cars hitting trouble. Six of the 16 Protorypes have had issues of one sort or another, and the #0 DeltaWing and the #2 ESM Patron HPD are both officially out of the race (sorry to Mike, who has both of them in our Blogathon Pick-'em Challenge). With that said, at the moment, the top-5 are the two Ganassi cars, the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, the #5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP and the #90 VisitFlorida.com Corvette DP (none really a surprise, since I picked them as five of the top-7 cars in class). The #54 CORE Autosport Oreca leads LMPC, the #911 Porsche leads the GTLM class and the #63 AF Corse Ferrari leads GTD.

We're just getting going, though. 20+ hours left to go...
