Depending on the number of contestants, we could wrap it up early enough on Sunday for those traveling. If folks are willing to work with us, I think we could make it happen. Contestants should let John know what they think. Flying in a contest where the sun can temporarily blind you is not a lot of fun and can lead to a busted airplane.
