Looked at my King Orange trophy  from 1980, First Slow Rat, Second Record Ratio Speed and Third Rat.  I also flew Stunt.  Cold and misty all weekend, but had a great time.  The stunt fliers were using lighter fluid to start their motors, quite a few attempts when the motor would not start. Les McDonald was Flying the Stiletto model that is now in the AMA museum.
