:25:01
I hear there's a bunch of cops have
pulled over all the heroes in the sport
:25:05
and they're on the side of the road
having a doughnut convention.
:25:08
And just like that.
Two of Baja's finest
:25:11
stopped 70 people
and $50 million of race equipment.
:25:15
Meanwhile behind them. The open-wheeled
brother to the trophy truck.
:25:18
The Class 1 buggies.
Surged off the line.
:25:20
These vehicles are unlimited.
Meaning the engine size is unlimited
:25:24
and so is the budget.
:25:26
Ranging between $300.000
and $ 1 million.
:25:29
These are expensive cars.
:25:30
F you win. Four grand maybe.
:25:57
Behind the big money
of the Class 1 buggies is a lot of heart.
:26:00
A quality best exemplified
by an off-road racing dynasty.
:26:04
The McMillin family.
:26:06
My dad and brother decided they were
gonna race one race in 1976
:26:10
for the Baja 1000, just race it once,
and then sell the car.
:26:14
Just to say they did it, you know?
:26:16
And when I was in that Class 9
with eight inches of wheel travel,
:26:20
a 50-horsepower motor, I really
thought I was gonna win overall.
:26:24
I mean, I thought,
"I got a chance here. "
:26:27
At 7 4. Corky McMillin is still
chasing his dream.
:26:31
You know, people ask me today,
with my age and everything... -
:26:34
I said, "Well, the only person
I really have to please is myself. "
:26:38
And if I feel like I'm competing
and doing good and hanging in there,
:26:42
I'm happy, I'm satisfied.
:26:44
The McMillins are a successful family
in more ways than one.
:26:47
And I see Corky still line up to get
a shower in the morning before the race
:26:52
in a line at a campground behind
all the guys that work in his company.
:26:56
And you can't tell which one's Corky
and which one's driving nails the next day.
:26:59
It makes us all have something
in common to kind of get together with,
