I was looking through a Worrell 1000 reports from 2000 and found the following quotes.
" The racers spent the day relaxing and the shore crews worked busily through the afternoon rebuilding the boats. Everyone enjoyed an evening off. Lee Queensberry, Mike Worrell's right-hand-man, hadn't slept since 6 AM the previous day. He caught a wink from 5 to 8 then went out to dinner with the race officials. "It's OK, I'm used to working at night," said Queensberry, "I'm a repo-man.""
"Team outer-banks approached the beach with a full head of steam and dug their bow into the sand, causing a spectacular capsize that threw both sailors off the boat. Peanut Johnson went headfirst into the bow pole, bending it like a pretzel, while John McGlaughlin was thrown out the back into 1 foot of water. Neither was hurt badly, but both suffered bruises. Davis Murray was sent through the mainsail in a capsize, but the play of the day went to the team that ran down beach master Lee Queensberry, causing him to lose his glasses."
