1:10:00
They were going 50 miles an hour
headed north.
1:10:02
While coming at them were trophy trucks
at 140 miles an hour.
1:10:06
And their lights are so bright,
you can't see.
1:10:08
And those roads are so tight that
you literally have to just close your eyes.
1:10:11
Jesus.
1:10:13
And it's like a spaceship passing
on the road.
1:10:19
Around dusk. The first automobile
in the race. Alan Pflueger.
1:10:21
Pulled into the pits.
1:10:23
His front end was coming off.
1:10:25
They tried welding everything to it...
1:10:26
wrenches. Golf clubs.
Whatever it would take.
1:10:29
Forty-five long minutes later.
After being passed by five different cars.
1:10:33
Pflueger's day had turned for the worst.
1:10:35
But the Hawaiian kept an even keel
and remained positive.
1:10:40
Down the road.
Robby Gordon pulled into his pits
1:10:42
like a tornado
pulling into a trailer park.
1:10:44
His crew looked ready
to run screaming into the night.
1:10:47
But Robby's not the kind of guy
to stand back and whine at people.
1:10:49
He jumps right in there.
1:10:50
Busting his knuckles
and shouting at the top of his lungs.
1:10:52
T's the kind of insane intensity
you can't help but admire.
1:11:03
Off went Robby raging into the night.
1:11:06
Playing the beast
to the beauty of the all-woman team.
1:11:08
They'd been in first place in their class
until their transmission failed.
1:11:11
Leaving them stranded in the pits.
1:11:12
looking far too clean. Too cute.
And too composed.
1:11:15
When do you guys think
you'll be pulling back into Ensenada?
1:11:22
As the night progresses.
Things just get weirder.
1:11:25
The crowds don't dwindle but increase.
1:11:27
They come in droves.
1:11:28
The later it gets.
The more people show up.
1:11:31
It's 4:30 in the morning.
1:11:32
We're off in the middle...
1:11:33
We're nowhere near any road,
1:11:34
and people are out there, you know,
with their coolers, their little barbecue,
1:11:38
a little fire going,
cheering you on all night long.
1:11:42
Since elementary school,
our families took us there.
1:11:44
So it's very, very important for us
that people still are waiting for us.
1:11:50
We have a lot of good reactions,
like the Jeep.., they make like bets.
1:11:55
Is it gonna make it?
Is it not gonna make it?
1:11:56
And once we get there,
1:11:58
they start like celebrating and stuff,
