1:03:01
if they had said yes.
1:03:04
Maybe we wouldn't be sitting here.
There wouldn't be any off-road racing.
1:03:24
A little water for ya.
1:03:25
I ain't getting my truck all dirty
and scratched up.
1:03:28
What the hell's wrong
with these people?
1:03:29
They're getting all hot now.
1:03:31
They're getting splashed
all with water on their face.
1:03:59
T's a long. Tough day.
1:04:01
Race for an afternoon in the Baja.
1:04:03
And you'll have
a year's worth of stories.
1:04:06
At least. That's the case
for Mike and Robby Groff
1:04:09
and Indy Car champion
Jimmy Vasser.
1:04:15
Vasser has a relationship
with the Groffs
1:04:17
a lot like Larry Fine had
with Moe and Curly Howard.
1:04:19
Twenty-five minutes,
and he said,
1:04:21
"For sure I knew
it was Robby Gordon, you know?"
1:04:24
And when he finally caught
and passed,
1:04:26
it was like a truck full of Mexicans
going, "Go! Go! Go!"
1:04:33
My earliest memory
of the Groff brothers
1:04:36
was in Columbus, Ohio,
at the Grand Nationals in 1974.
1:04:39
At eight years old,
he was already a stud,
1:04:41
and he has this leather racing jacket,
1:04:43
and he has this patch with Wile E. Coyote
holding the Roadrunner by his neck,
1:04:47
and it said "Beep-beep my ass. "
1:04:48
And I said, "I gotta know this guy. "
1:04:52
And here we are.
1:04:53
Last year's 1000
was their debut as a team.
1:04:56
A series of problems led to Vasser
getting in the car at sunset
1:04:59
while the light bar was
still a hundred miles away.
