Yes, since you ask, just prior to the front straight is a sweeping left-hander where I was full-throttle in 3rd gear (probably pulling at least 1g) and the smoke screen hit just before turn exit when I was shifting to 4th gear at engine redline.

Are you thinking that may have forced oil that was introduced into the throttle body entirely/mostly to the passenger side intake runners?

This sounds correct. AOS failure sends oil into the intake manifold and from there it can go to either side.

Yes.

Don't know if you read this thread but oil will flow all over (bad AOS) depending on what direction the car is tilted:
