Off went Robby raging into the night.
1:11:06
Playing the beast
to the beauty of the all-woman team.

1:11:08
They'd been in first place in their class
until their transmission failed.

1:11:11
Leaving them stranded in the pits.
1:11:12
looking far too clean. Too cute.
And too composed.

1:11:15
When do you guys think
you'll be pulling back into Ensenada?

1:11:22
As the night progresses.
Things just get weirder.

1:11:25
The crowds don't dwindle but increase.
1:11:27
They come in droves.
1:11:28
The later it gets.
The more people show up.

1:11:31
It's 4:30 in the morning.
1:11:32
We're off in the middle...
1:11:33
We're nowhere near any road,
1:11:34
and people are out there, you know,
with their coolers, their little barbecue,

1:11:38
a little fire going,
cheering you on all night long.

1:11:42
Since elementary school,
our families took us there.

1:11:44
So it's very, very important for us
that people still are waiting for us.

1:11:50
We have a lot of good reactions,
like the Jeep.., they make like bets.

1:11:55
Is it gonna make it?
Is it not gonna make it?

1:11:56
And once we get there,
1:11:58
they start like celebrating and stuff,
1:12:00
and they really pump you up,
you keep going.

1:12:03
The Volkswagen is painfully far behind.
1:12:06
Which for them is right on schedule.
1:12:10
Meanwhile.
At the other end of the race.

1:12:11
Mouse. Amazingly.
Was still going strong.

1:12:16
Scott Dunlavey was now
in charge of his pits.

1:12:19
And he brought with him racing legend
Eddie Mulder to surprise Mouse.

1:12:22
Just trying to keep him focused,
you know.

1:12:23
He was very tired at that point.
1:12:24
Got some food in him,
and got some liquids in him.

1:12:28
And, you know,
he's complaining about his hands.

1:12:30
We were third overall,
and I got a flat out on the beach.

1:12:33
I've been trying to gather those guys
back up for a while, man.

1:12:36
I was pretty bummed out,
'cause first of all, 40 miles on a rear flat.

1:12:40
Push it to third overall, man.
1:12:41
You're rockin', dude.
You're rockin'. I know.

1:12:43
I feel strong, but my wrists go numb.
1:12:45
They just lock up.
1:12:46
That's my issue right now.
1:12:47
If I could shake that flat off...
1:12:49
You know, it works your brain over...
1:12:52
I had to slow down.
1:12:54
Hey I lost like 45 minutes.
1:12:56
I was third overall, back...
gonna pass the guy.

1:12:59
Go get 'em, Mouse.
