I have not really been loyal to any one team in the ALMS, because I loved the racing and what the different teams had to offer. Since I joined Ten-Tenths this year after americanlemansfans.com shut down, I've really grown to appreciate Team Falken Tire through what you do on this forum and other social media. I wish you all the best next year! You've got another big fan right here! |

As for the points standings... I have actually given up paying attention to who wins the ALMS class championships, no joke. It requires the mental prowess of a Feynman or Hawking to keep track of which cars are eligible for points vs. podiums vs. finishes vs. not (Deltawing, anyone?), and even if you get that all sorted out (did Guasch win the PC championship?), they still screw it up in the awards ceremony. I give up. Roll on TUSCC. There, I said it. At least we can hope for less of a circus of monkeys when it comes to figuring out who won what. |

As for Nick going off course...We all crapped our pants with that one. I don't think I'm allowed to say here what words went through our heads. |

Hm. Tricky question. Right now, I'll have to go with a no comment on that one. However, which ever of my teams/drivers do decide to run there, it will be unlikely they'll front the bill to send a PR rep to go. Most unfortunately work it stateside. We'll see Maybe we start a "Send Kelly to Le Mans" fund?

Kelly, it was great seeing you in the paddock on Thursday and Congrats to the team and crew on the victory. I was in the 10 A-B watching when Nick went straight, even though it was on the video screen, a collective "oh no!" went up from the crowd.
Also, Justin really enjoyed winning the Twitter contest and the ride in the Vitesse Porsche. One of the greatest races I have ever seen. |

Had a few requests over the weekend, so thanks to Delta Wing, I've been able to release a wallpaper of the 15 Champions of the ALMS which was on the nose of the Delta Wing at Petit. Portrait and Landscape Wallpapers available.
Thank you to everyone who has supported, downloaded, twatted or Facebooked the Ten-Tenths supported ALMS Spotter Guides during the past six years. Its massively appreciated. Hope to be back for TUSC for 2014, waiting on that one. Download the wallpaper (three different sizes) over at http://www.andyblackmoredesign.com/latest/ |

Really hoping this race is made available on DVD.
No broadcast up on ALMS YouTube yet, either. |

Maybe you can answer a question I had. At the gate, we were handed a Media guide. It had a lot of info in it, like addresses and phone numbers for team shops and phone numbers for PR people. I can see why sponsors could use that info, but why would average fans like me and my dad and brothers need it? |

Thanks Andy, hopefully next year we will see more of the great spotter guides! (I have my wall planner in front of me right now!) I also just printed out the Au revoir poster.
Thanks and Cheers! |

Another great race, hugely entertaining. It was cool to see the cars driving in the changing conditions that turned into a gorgeous evening. Plus, Falken won GT... how cool is that?
And to those that were concerned about the stock cars running... I really hope they can find space for them to come back. That was a great, clean race that could only be appreciated by standing close to the track. It was also nice to meet those of you that stopped by the impromptu tenths meeting. The thanks go to you Andy. I love to look at it but it is indispensable for the newbies we bring along. |

We wanted to showcase significant cars though, so we have the Crocodile R8 from Adelaide the 06 R8 with all the driver and circuit winners and the rebuilt HPD with the carbon tub

"Twatted"?
Seriously though, brilliant job as always Andy. Thanks once again for all the years of wonderful ALMS spotter guides. Hope you can continue with TUSCC. |

That was really cool seeing those on the nose of the DeltaWing. Hope you get to do the guides for TUSC. They're really great for autograph sessions.
