More so for him, actually. These were his first 4 off courses, and three
of them he had to refer to the audit sheet and course map to know where
they were. Sadly, he was doing the "right" thing--looking ahead and
seeing the lane that wasn't the right lane. Sigh. This caused many
DNFs, not just in Formula Junior. (That is, many of the DNFs were "lost"
DNFs, not "aggressive"DNFs.)

Yes, I felt terrible for him! His kart is blazingly fast, but a bit
temperamental to keep running.

Weather was threatening briefly on Sunday afternoon, but everyone got all
dry runs (to Eric's dismay--he had already switched to full tread Kumhos
for Sunday afternoon when it looked really scary).
