Not hardly.

At the '75 Nationals we ran way late too. AM got only two runs per course 
because of the late hour (they were NOT happy!). Back then awards were done 
Sunday after the event and it was way dark when the '75 awards were being 
passed out.

1982's problem was a then-record entry. 1975's was an attempt to do 
90-second courses -- because it was on an airport runway, long & narrow, two 
cars at a time was max. With one exception, courses have always been in the 
60-second range since then.

And of course, this year on Tuesday....
