Damn, I knew that was going to happen.
Yes, we pulled it off. Consider it a miracle. Don't ask for it to
happen again.

In fact, it was 465 drivers, started at 8:00, done at 6:00. Three breaks
for course walking. A few other short breaks for breakage and audits and
whatnot. Figure probably an hour of downtime all total.
Remember, in recent years, there have been times when we finished after
6:00 pm as a result of problems. It's amazing that we didn't have any.
All the workers and drivers cooperated, the weather was good, the timing
crew was hand-picked volunteers for the entire day.
It's not the sort of thing that we could pull off any time we wanted.
