And 2nd or 3rd in DM, IIRC. This is pretty routine for John. I don't
recall when EP ran, but it was rather warmer earlier in the week
than on Friday. If you drove a race tire car on Friday and didn't have a
tire warmer, odds are you had cold tires for every run. It was pretty
funny to see O'Donnell's pristine white Elan enclosed by a fence
(white, of course) of insulating bubble-wrap.

IIRC, FP ran North. The first two heats Tuesday went off on the North;
everybody else ran South one day or another (Tuesday a.m., Thursday,
or Friday).
According to scca.org, the North course classes should have been:
AML, AP, BP, CSPL, DSP, CM, CSL, FP

BP also ran the North course, which was probably a second or two
longer than the South. But Ames did a fantastic job; he was by far
the smoothest and most effective through the finish section.
Brake point selection and sweeper-exit late apexing were the
main "core competencies" required by the South course, and
John did both extremely well.
