Kenneth McKinnon and Larry Ligas, piloting the Predator Racing 1972 Porsche 911 RSR, established a commanding Group B lead, maintaining a one-lap advantage and leading the combined Group A/B standings by nearly a minute at the halfway mark.
In Run Group C, Bob Neapole and Guy Cosmo in the RBN Motorsports 2020 Acura ARX-05 maintained their momentum from Thursday's B.R.M. Endurance Challenge victory. They lead Pierce Marshall and Eric Foss's 2017 Matador Motorsports Cadillac DPi by 90 seconds.
The Jordan Racing Team, featuring Mike and Andrew Jordan, leads Run Group D in their 2011 Porsche 997.2 GT3 Cup. Despite sweeping both opening segments, they hold a slim 11-second advantage, with the top six competitors separated by just 90 seconds.
