You're not far back.
Eight came through here not long ago.
1:07:04
Who?
1:07:05
Eight, and 449 just passed
a minute ago.
1:07:08
- They did?
- Yeah. A minute ago.
1:07:09
I'll get 'em back.
Hey, I lost like 45 minutes.
1:07:12
I was third overall, back...
gonna pass the guy.
1:07:15
Started what, 16th?
Or something like that.
1:07:17
And I was gonna pass the four...
or third overall.
1:07:21
- I was...
- You'll get 'em in the woods.
1:07:22
- You'll get 'em in the woods.
- I'll get 'em in the woods.
1:07:24
But I'm feelin' it.
1:07:26
You're doing
a huge accomplishment.
1:07:28
Take.., keep yourself hydrated
and take it easy.
1:07:30
You're doing great.
1:07:32
I was in third, Neil, almost.
1:07:34
I know. That's okay.
You're doing fine.
1:07:35
- Then that flat, dude.
- You'll get it back.
1:07:37
He's right up there.
Don't worry.
1:07:38
- It's only half over.
- I know.
1:07:41
Mouse remembers
something important to tell Andy.
1:07:43
I had to ride for 40-something miles
till I got up to Catavena,
1:07:47
and then I scrounged a wheel
off some dudes.
1:07:49
I'll get 'em back.
Hey, I lost like 45 minutes.
1:07:52
I was third overall, back...
gonna pass the guy.
1:08:02
He's telling you a story.
1:08:03
He was a click out of delirious.
1:08:05
Bike's running, he's telling you a story.
It was great.
1:08:07
"Wait, I got four more seconds.
1:08:08
I have a great story.
You're gonna love this one. "
1:08:11
The pit crews are the backbone
of the Baja 1000...
1:08:14
guys like Jetboat.
1:08:15
I was on Indy Car teams
for years... Arceiro's.
1:08:18
At Indy, changing a tire close to the wall
with a car coming in at 120,
1:08:22
your adrenaline's pumping
for about 15 seconds,
1:08:24
and then it leaves, you're done.
1:08:25
This race,
just all the planning and preparation
1:08:28
and wondering where Mouse is at,
1:08:30
your adrenaline's pumping
for about 24 hours.
1:08:32
And it's just the most amazing high
that you can ever be on in your life.
1:08:37
While Jetboat chases Mouse.
Others wait for their racers.
1:08:40
These are the pit crews
of the big-money unlimited classes.
1:08:43
Their surroundings are
like a gearhead Xanadu.
1:08:46
And they live like firemen.
Ready whenever for whatever.
1:08:49
We may drive by and just wave
and say, "Hey, thanks for being here. "
1:08:52
But if we need something, they're there.
1:08:54
You could not be a mechanic
workin' full-time in the racing business
1:08:58
if you didn't love it.
1:08:59
And they just.., you know,
it's almost an addiction.
