:29:04
Probably hit him a little too hard. Bud.
:29:06
You got it. You got it.
Make some dust. Good man.
:29:13
While the McMillins have fun
on the cutting edge of technology.
:29:15
There are those who enjoy something
slightly more antiquated.
:29:24
This is Class 11, which gives a whole
new definition to the word "underdog. "
:29:28
You really get the satisfaction of talking
to someone that races a trophy truck,
:29:32
a Class 1 motorcycle,
looking at you and saying,
:29:35
"Oh, you race Class 11.
:29:36
Guy, you must be crazy. "
:29:39
Hey, those guys are
the toughest guys out there.
:29:41
You know, they've got
little support, you know,
:29:44
vehicles that are extremely challenged,
and they go for it.
:29:47
That's the hardcore
Baja racer right there.
:29:52
These are unmodified
Volkswagen Beetles.
:29:54
Not the New Beetle.
But the old Beetle. Pre-1982.
:29:58
No modification of the suspension
or engine is allowed.
:30:00
We are losing our dashboard.
:30:10
What they lack in speed
they more than make up for in passion.
:30:14
It's a feeling inside of this one.
:30:18
We born know Bajas,
and we die knowing Bajas, too.
:30:23
I think they're real men.
I mean, there's some stuff
:30:25
that I have no idea
how they get through.
:30:28
Racing Class 11, it's very,
very important to finish the race.
:30:34
Sometimes there are no signs left.
:30:37
Our time limit is sometimes
very, very narrow for us.
:30:42
So it's very significant to go through
:30:45
whatever you have to
go through in getting there,
:30:49
just getting there.
:30:51
Stand by. He's on his way.
Air clear.
:30:54
Looks like we're going right.
:30:57
By noon everyone
had left the starting line
:30:59
and racers began
to settle into their groove.
