No 17 the Taylor/Scott car seems to have lost some time we will try 
and find out why.

For Viper fans all four are running but two not doing very well, the 
lead Viper is driven by Price Cobb a previous winner.

The no 25 Porsche who had a minor touch and according to the team was 
not not damaged, its team car 26 seems to have dropped down the order 
now running 10th with posible brake problems.
