For each $i=1, 2, 3, 4$, define $\omega_1$ to be the circle touching the quadrilateral externally, and which is tangent to the lines $A_{i-1}A_i, A_iA_{i+1}$ and $A_{i+1}A_{i+2}$ (indices are considered modulo $4$ so $A_0=A_4, A_5=A_1$ and $A_6=A_2$).

In the 2009 Stanford Olympics, Willy and Sammy are two bikers. The circular race track has two
lanes, the inner lane with radius 11, and the outer with radius 12. Willy will start on the inner lane,
and Sammy on the outer. They will race for one complete lap, measured by the inner track.
What is the square of the distance between Willy and Sammy's starting positions so that they will both race
the same distance? Assume that they are of point size and ride perfectly along their respective lanes
