You're coming down here, the truck's
only gonna be here for like 40 seconds.

1:09:06
- Done, and we're done.
- No, we're packing up.

1:09:09
You gotta find something to do.
1:09:11
Drove all this way,
you gotta do something.

1:09:14
Idle hands
can be the devil's playthings.

1:09:18
Oh, my God!
1:09:20
The pit crews are forced
to amuse themselves for hours on end.

1:09:23
As night falls. A full 25%
of the field has dropped out.

1:09:27
And many pit crewsÂ’ jobs
are just beginning.

1:09:28
But for Jimmy Roberts.
His day is over.

1:09:31
He's gotten his team back
into the top ten.

1:09:33
Get off.
Your work is done.

1:09:35
Good job, bro.
1:09:36
Greg, my dad crashed.
1:09:38
Greg Tracy would take over the bike.
1:09:40
And take it the next 300 miles
into the night.

1:09:42
It's only half over.
And Greg's a hell of a night rider.

1:09:46
If my dad's there,
I'm sure he'll take it in at the end,

1:09:47
but if he's not,
he's gonna have to ride it in.

1:09:49
- Good job, man.
- Yeah.

1:09:51
- Good job, brother.
- Thanks, man.

1:09:53
Give me your helmet.
1:09:54
Jetboat and crew are headed
back to Ensenada with one obstacle.

1:09:57
The first 15 miles of their trek back
was on a live course.

1:10:00
They were going 50 miles an hour
headed north.

1:10:02
While coming at them were trophy trucks
at 140 miles an hour.

1:10:06
And their lights are so bright,
you can't see.

1:10:08
And those roads are so tight that
you literally have to just close your eyes.

1:10:11
Jesus.
1:10:13
And it's like a spaceship passing
on the road.

1:10:19
Around dusk. The first automobile
in the race. Alan Pflueger.

1:10:21
Pulled into the pits.
1:10:23
His front end was coming off.
1:10:25
They tried welding everything to it...
1:10:26
wrenches. Golf clubs.
Whatever it would take.

1:10:29
Forty-five long minutes later.
After being passed by five different cars.

1:10:33
Pflueger's day had turned for the worst.
1:10:35
But the Hawaiian kept an even keel
and remained positive.

1:10:40
Down the road.
Robby Gordon pulled into his pits

1:10:42
like a tornado
pulling into a trailer park.

1:10:44
His crew looked ready
to run screaming into the night.

1:10:47
But Robby's not the kind of guy
to stand back and whine at people.

1:10:49
He jumps right in there.
1:10:50
Busting his knuckles
and shouting at the top of his lungs.

1:10:52
T's the kind of insane intensity
you can't help but admire.
