Steve Hengeveld. The best night racer
in the world. Was flat out.
:57:13
Trying valiantly.
Chuck Dempsey could not close the gap.
:57:16
But it didn't matter.
:57:17
Because for an afternoon.
:57:18
Andy Grider had accomplished
the impossible.
:57:21
I've had what I would consider
a few moments that I felt greatness
:57:25
when I raced.
:57:26
A lot of people, if you ask them...
:57:28
if you say, "Okay, break it down.
What was your best race?"
:57:30
And it might not be they won,
but they had a moment
:57:34
that you're so present
in everything that's happening...
:57:37
flawless and effortlessly.
:57:39
And outside is utter chaos,
:57:41
but that chaos is around 'em,
:57:43
and they're sitting
in the middle of the tornado,
:57:45
the eye of the storm.
:57:46
You make a correction
before a reaction starts.
:57:50
They're not scared, they're not afraid.
:57:52
They don't think they can be hurt.
:57:54
You don't have time to be afraid.
Afraid's afterward.
:57:57
You know, it's like...
:57:59
"Man, I just avoided death once again. "
:58:06
A father and his son.
:58:07
An icon and his legacy.
:58:09
An epic race witnessed
mostly by cactus.
:58:12
No TV. No adoring crowds.
Just the clarity of the moment.
:58:15
A clarity that can give a racer a greater
appreciation of place and of people.
:58:20
An awareness of the give and take.
The golden rule.
:58:23
For six-time champion
Malcolm Smith.
:58:25
Giving back is more important
than any victory.
:58:27
One of Malcolm's favorite things to do
is to visit a little community
:58:30
just outside of Trinidad.
:58:32
He and his son Alex
bring their bikes and buggies
:58:34
and give the local kids a thrill.
:58:36
How can I give back to Baja
some of the enjoyment I've had?
:58:39
We started donating time
and effort and money
:58:42
about eight years ago here.
:58:44
They only had a little bit of one house done
when we first started here.
:58:49
No, it's really fun.
:58:50
We come down here every year
and I've been seeing kids here
:58:53
for eight years now.
:58:54
And it's kind of nice to come down here
and see 'em over and over again.
:58:59
Two days after we filmed this.
