They hit Valle de Trinidad like something
out of the Book of Revelations.

:37:22
Through the center of town
side by side at over 100 miles an hour.

:37:36
Amazingly. no one was hurt.
:37:38
Just some metal got bent...
the racer's calling card.

:37:41
The only way people know in
off-road racing that a car's behind you,

:37:45
you come up and give 'em
a little bump in the back

:37:46
and they kind of move over 'cause they
know a faster vehicle's behind 'em.

:37:48
If they don't move out of the way,
take 'em for a ride.

:37:51
You don't know fear until you look
in the rearview and see Robby Gordon.

:37:54
Got Ken on your tail.
He's catching up to you pretty quick here.

:38:01
Everything that could've
gone wrong went wrong.

:38:05
It's not a pit stop.
:38:08
Got one crazy mad driver right there.
:38:13
Robby had gotten a flat
but his pit crew was unprepared.

:38:16
Putting Robby in full tilt.
:38:18
He blazed through 30 miles on a flat tire
:38:20
to nearly be in first place
before finally getting a change.

:38:28
While the trophy trucks
and Class 1 buggies

:38:30
represent the power and glamour
of the Baja 1000.

:38:32
The true symbol of victory
is the motorcycle.

:38:34
Specifically a motorcycle ridden by
Johnny Campbell and Steve Hengeveld.

:38:39
With six straight overall titles.
Johnny and Steve stand atop a mountain

:38:43
with seemingly
nowhere to go but down.

:38:45
The pressure of winning is always there.
:38:48
And when you win
several times in a row,

:38:51
not only do you wanna
do it again for yourself,

:38:53
but, you know, when you got a corporate
company like Honda, let's say,

:38:56
for Johnny and Steve, they want
them to win, and they know that.

:38:59
You don't see it the way you used
to see it when you used to look up.
