Turn 29 notes:

Things get crowded in Teriamen

Moratto holds steady at 100 wear paid starting the Rindt line
MacDonald slows to 80 around the inside of the next corner
Harley maintains 120 wear paid for the A side and one more for the B side
LaMorte rounds the inside of the first corner at 100 putting in one wear then taking the line

Dygert recovers from his spin at 40
Welage hugs the curb around the corner at 80
Bauska stays on the gray machine's wing also at 80
Kay catches the group ahead of him at 120 dropping two wear in the inner 80s

McConchie exits the Small Chicane at 120 and starts the next racing line
Brandt finishes the 100s at 120 wear paid
Blizzard is NPR but is paid to take the second line through the chicane at 140 grabbing two spots
Harrington slows to 100 to take the lines through the chicane

Note: Last turn the chart notes shows Blizzard using one wear. He used two. I did, in fact,
take two wear from him so his wear total was (and still is) correct.
