I hope it wasn't in the green run group. I'm still amazed at how many GT3s run in Green. Hell of a car to learn on!

Very cool pics. I've got a lot of respect for the GT-R. I'd actually have a strong desire to own one if it came in a conventional manual box.

Tony's a good guy. We co-drove a Mitsubishi Evo at the 25 Hour race last year. He gets to drive all the cool toys.

OPTIMO,

This was at the One Lap of American. Tony Swann from Car and Driver is campaigning it there.

Not quite a typical HPDE.

Oh, that's right, I read about that. Cool car. I've yet to see one in person, but I was amazed that it beat the Z06, GT3 and R8 in EVO.

Amazing. Great color, too.
