Ngl, I feel a bit insane for doing this. Timestamps of every time Vale shows up or gets mentioned in the race. The main Sunday race at least.

This is more for my future reference, but if anyone wants to watch the race for the same reason I do (old man™) but don't have 12 hours to spare, feel free to refer to these.

If I missed anything, just let me know.
