The Thomas Flyer Disaster

The race was based around the idea that they were just going to drive over it like it was a highway. But you definitely couldn't drive a car across it, unless, you know, glued it to the ice and then rowed it across on a pe like like it was on a barge or something that that. The protoser team was penalized 15 days race time for failing to cross the bearing strait. One of them didn't even bother going to san francisco after hearing about the change of plan. They thought that they were being ordered to just go straight to seattle. And so they made there with all speed,. But because of this, they were penalized.
