1:24:02
Where do we go from here?
1:24:06
Rewarded with a pin.
Finishers celebrate all day long.

1:24:09
Hour after hour as the clock ticks down
to the 32-hour time limit.

1:24:12
In spite of being denied
a record-breaking 10th overall Baja 1000.

1:24:16
Mark McMillin crossed the finish line
with a big grin on his face.

1:24:20
Told ya I'd make it back for ya.
1:24:22
You did.
You stayed true to your word.

1:24:24
No, we don't give up.
We don't give up.

1:24:27
Proving that even rich
handsome guys don't give up.

1:24:30
Alan Pflueger crossed the line
with a big aloha smile.

1:24:33
It was up front.
It was up front.

1:24:35
See that.
Then the front broke off.

1:24:39
- Hawaiians never quit.
- That's true.

1:24:41
Same hula gal,
or did you replace the hula gal?

1:24:43
No, same hula girl.
1:24:44
Gotta get her a new grass skirt,
but that's all right.

1:24:47
Yeah, I like this one.
1:24:48
Kind of had to do
some testing on this thing.

1:24:50
The ukulele ones last.
1:24:51
The other ones lose their arms,
so it's all good.

1:24:59
Although there are many examples
of Baja's never-say-die spirit.

1:25:02
Few have as good a time
1:25:03
as the off-road version
of the Terminator... Al Hogan.

1:25:07
You'll be able to find pieces of his truck
all the way back to the starting line.

1:25:10
Nothing left but his pride
and his sense of the obvious.

1:25:13
Tired, man.
1:25:16
What can you say?
That's Baja.

1:25:18
Sometimes the course wins.
1:25:20
We only got 364 more days
till the next one, right?

1:25:24
One after the other.
They would cross the line.

1:25:26
Dusty and tired.
But overjoyed they finished.

1:25:29
As the day wore on.
There were still many on the course.

1:25:31
Amy Thomas searched for the BC-10.
1:25:33
Which was still a hundred miles out.
1:25:35
Headed for home
in a race against the clock.

1:25:39
And only seconds
behind the women's team

1:25:41
came Eric Solorzano's Volkswagen
1:25:43
bouncing up the goat trail
outside of Trinidad.

1:25:45
Hoping to finish.
Just to finish.

1:25:47
While the Volkswagen wouldn't make it,
1:25:49
the women's team would.
With ten minutes to spare.
