Malcolm. Alex.
And a dozen of Alex's classmates

:59:03
poured the foundation for a library
to be built right there on turn four.

:59:07
The kids truly appreciate the time
and attention the Smiths give them.

:59:10
Being orphans.
They know it's not always available.

:59:15
They are all from Mexicali,
Tijuana, Ensenada.

:59:18
And we have a few
from the local town, Valle de Trinidad.

:59:23
It brings tears to my eyes
:59:25
thinking of these kids being abandoned
on the streets of Mexico,

:59:28
and now to think what they have here
and what opportunities they have here.

:59:32
To me that's the most important thing
about Malcolm.

:59:35
He wants to be here.
:59:36
He wants to feel
what it's to be with our kids

:59:39
and, you know, spend some times
and, you know, give them some joy,

:59:44
not only the bunk beds they receive,
:59:47
not only the water pump they receive,
:59:49
or all the things they have
because of Malcolm Smith.

:59:52
I learned lessons from 'em,
like you can never quit down here

:59:56
'cause if you do,
it's a major problem for you.

:59:58
You can never quit on any race,
1:00:00
'cause then, I mean, somebody else
might have the same problem you do

1:00:03
and they might quit.
1:00:04
But if you don't quit, you might win.
1:00:13
Among the original Baja racers.
Giving back is an unspoken tradition.

1:00:18
Baja has a magic to me.
1:00:20
I can be kind of sick
and have a backache and come down here

1:00:24
and ride my motorcycle and be free,
and I feel better right away.

1:00:28
I mean, the farther you get away
from the civilization

1:00:31
on these really back roads,
the more the magic is.

1:00:38
The back roads of Baja are endless.
1:00:41
And a beauty can be found
in the most unusual places.

1:00:43
Take Coco's Corner.
1:00:45
A kingdom built
from what's been left behind...

1:00:47
old beer cans
and bent motorcycle frames.

1:00:50
The unexplainable.
The bizarre. And the long-forgotten.

1:00:54
This is a place where a man's dream
only needs one leg to kick reality's rear.

1:00:58
Of course.
Coco wouldn't tell you anything like that.
