:01:00
You smell the ocean breeze,
you hear the birds.
:01:03
You hear the whales,
you hear the seals.
:01:05
I think Baja gives you
that opportunity to feel that,
:01:08
to get closer to something
that's more instinctual.
:01:12
It's difficult to put into words
because it's an emotion.
:01:15
That's what Baja is,
something you feel.
:01:32
What do you call a race where
anybody with any vehicle can enter.
:01:35
A race where 200.000 spectators
come but no one pays admission.
:01:40
A race that takes 32 hours
for 1.200 people
:01:43
to battle 1.000 merciless miles
for a million different reasons?
:01:46
Call it the Tecate Score Baja 1000.
:01:50
Someone asked Parnelli Jones,
:01:52
and he said it's like being
in a 24-hour plane crash.
:01:55
'Cause the 1000,
so much can go on.
:01:57
Think about what happens,
you know, in the Daytona 500.
:02:01
And they're going
around a smooth track,
:02:03
and the pit's
in the same spot every time.
:02:05
You know, we got
buses and cows and horses and...
:02:08
Mountains and beaches and deserts.
:02:10
You're in dust, you're in rocks.
:02:11
It's gullies, it's washouts,
it's 100 miles an hour, 20 miles an hour.
:02:15
So many roads out there,
and little ranches here and there.
:02:17
Every one of these jumps,
every one of these turns
:02:20
is different than the last one.
:02:21
Tell you what,
you don't fall asleep here.
:02:24
I lived it, I ate it, I slept it,
and I can totally understand
:02:28
when other people
get caught up in the mystique of it,
:02:31
trying to beat time itself
and get to the finish line.
:02:34
It's an unreal feeling.
