11:54 "Much to his disgust, he is given a glass of champagne, which he (Seagrave) always disliked; but there isn't any water available." Interesting times...
Then: 3 men have died this race. Now: Someone broke their shoulder; let’s redesign, standardize, and rewrite the safety book and get everyone to sign it before next race.
