CT.
Editor John Kelly has a lengthy discussion in print with

introducing timing slips at the '00 Nationals, but he points out

AP and APL at the '99
Nationals in a borrowed Porsche 911 GT3R, a 3.8-liter car that literally
blew away the class. Both also scored other National class titles
previously.
