:34:03
The buggy wasn't prepared to stop
in the middle of the road.
:34:06
And the Volkswagen wasn't prepared
for such little room.
:34:10
Neither were prepared that the buggy
would start from the bumpers touching
:34:14
and that the Volkswagen wouldn't start.
:34:17
Then a good Samaritan came along.
:34:19
Waved along the truck.
Which got its fender ripped off...
:34:23
.., thus starting the Volkswagen.
:34:25
A pattern had begun to develop.
:34:33
There's one element that is more
feared and loathed than any other...
:34:37
silt.
:34:39
Silt is bottomless talcum powder.
:34:41
When you get home,
the silt still comes out
:34:43
of your eyes and your nostrils
for two and three days later.
:34:47
You can't fathom
:34:48
what Baja is until you've experienced it.
:34:51
Explaining silt to someone,
that you hit it and you can't see anything
:34:54
and you have
to keep your foot down.
:34:55
I thought I had it all figured out.
:34:57
The first time I hit silt,
I was going, "Oh, my... "
:35:00
Don't let off the gas.
Whatever you do, do not let off the gas.
:35:29
In Baja. Everyone agrees
about two things...
:35:32
silt sucks. And you should
never question authority.
:35:36
The civility displayed by the racers
during the trophy truck debacle
:35:40
had convinced the police
to let them off with a stern warning
:35:42
and an escort off the highway.
:35:45
Now. For some reason.
Mark Post decided
:35:47
starting second
wasn't asking too much.
:35:50
Mark Miller. Already in second.
Wasn't buying it.
:35:52
So Post decided to settle
for starting third.
:35:57
Third place Herbst was indignant.
A feud had begun.
