Catingaround - Thank you! Her livery is pretty amazing, isn't it? Full credit goes to Falken Tire Corporate on that one!

Porsche917K - You should! It's always great to meet fans we chat with online!

Jonerz - Well, we hope you can make it out! If not, thanks for the well wishes! We'll do our best! Historically, Mazda Raceway has been a rough track for us, but we're (obviously) hoping for a good result on this one--Especially since it's in the home state of our Corporate Headquarters. (no pressure)

Welcome to town as well.

Really would like to make it to Laguna this year, but with still recovering financially from Sebring, and work obligations that week, sadly no. Will have to be happy with watching from home.

Good luck.

Thanks, Simmi. It's certainly a dream of ours. Hopefully it won't be too long before it becomes a reality!

Proved to be a false rumour originally from Facebook. They will not debut at Laguna Seca.

Speaking of twitter, you can find us at @FalkenALMS and Bryan is on at @BryanSellers. That's where the majority of our updates will be for the weekend. We try to do at least one Falken swag giveaway each race weekend in addition to letting one fan and a friend have lunch with the drivers. If you guys have any suggestions of other things you'd like to see us do, just shoot me an email at kelly@walkerracing!

Major major teams missing up from LMP2; Black Swan, Dempsey, Libra (if it actually happens). I guess it's just a subject to change but notable nevertheless. Otherwise, no big surprises anywhere.

Not quite sure why Sean is listed in the #30 NGT Porsche, he will be in Barcelona for Supercup.

Looks like I will be going for sure so I will make sure to stop by and say hello, and also keep an eye on the twitter accounts throughout the weekend.

Is this supposed to be AMR's last race in the ALMS this year?

Hmm... as we know this is a super quality 100% for sure final entry list.

I hope Libra makes it, I wish Sean were a full time ALMS driver, and hopefully Dempsey and BSR make the list.

It would be mighty scary if Level 5 drop out! Having one car in P2 would be a shame. Hopefully some more P2s decide to enter the race.

Nah, it would be business as usual in ALMS P2

I wish there had been some surprise entries for this event like last year (Porsche hybrid and Lola-AM). The Vantage is still there yeah but that's hardly the most exciting thing ever now, and 3-6 P2s isn't the same as five P1s last year. Well four when you take Autocon out of the picture

In any case, this particular race weekend tends to produce the single best GT battle of the year, anywhere in the world. Never ceases to amaze me why it always seems to happen exactly on this circuit, but that's how it is... looking forward to it and any last-lap shenanigans

If the new ALMS race director continues to be as strict as in Sebring, anything like what happened between Bergmeister and Magnussen would get drivers banned for life.

It's what - 4 weeks? - between LB and LS? Sounds kinda hard to believe, that they wouldn't get it done in that time - unless the tub had to go back to England for repairs, that is.

Apparently they are set to upgrade the car to 2012 specs for Lime Rock, and didn't feel it made sense to purchase new body work for one race.

Darn. I was hoping to see this car. Maybe they could borrow some bodywork from Dyson or another team?
