It’s the longest endurance race in the world and it starts right here.  Friday practice and qualifying at the 25 hours, is a chance for the teams to make final preparations and ultimately define their place on the grid for the Saturday start.  With more than eighty teams entered for the 10th annual endurance test, it has become more important than ever.  Teams scramble relentlessly; and the activity and anticipation is evident every inch along the entire length of Thunderhill’s long, narrow pit area.  The race has grown from a club level event, to what is described now as a “semi-professional” event that sees teams spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Here are some of my shots from Friday:
