[Goodspeed]

The bone-stock GT-R made 7th in class (SSGT1 Large Bore) and 11th overall out of 72 cars in the '08 One Lap. The car was campaigned by Tony Swan of Car and Driver, and it was a drama-filled affair. They DNF'ed on the auto-x by going off course (which dropped them from 5th), ran a second-slower 1/4 mile than expected because he couldn't figure out launch control, etc. and while Swan blamed the Bridgestone run-flats and the electrical doo-dads for everything that went wrong, most just blamed his driving ability. Regardless, I'd love to see what this car will achieve in the future as it will certainly be back at the OLA, in private hands and maybe with some modifications (because who runs a factory stock car at an event like this?)
