We're a few minutes away from the start of the 25 Hours of Thunderhill, so we took the opportunity to stroll through the pits to see the cars and crews about to take on North America's most challenging enduro.

The Scion tC we reported on yesterday is up and running, although slightly worse for the wear after an off-course excursion at turn 8 during qualifying put the turbo'd coupe on its roof. The Mazda contingent is out in force, with every generation of MX-5/Miata and RX-7 represented and ready to mix it up with Fords, Hondas, BMWs (including ~~an utterly fantastic V8-powered E46~~ -- our bad, it's not racing, it's for sale) two Fun Cup cars and everything in between. Hit the jump to check out the (poorly formatted) qualifying results that puts Team Cytosport and its Daytona Prototype on the poll. We'll have more images once the race gets underway, but check the gallery to get a virtual walk-through of the pits.
