1:17:05
He had about 30 miles
up in the mountains,
1:17:07
came back down,
picked up like three spots.
1:17:09
Hauling ass.
1:17:10
I mean, here's a guy
that's blowing bubbles,
1:17:12
and he just picked off two guys
who were fresh.
1:17:16
Through checkpoint 12.
1:17:17
Mouse was only 60 miles away
from the finish line in Ensenada.
1:17:20
He was about to
make the impossible possible.
1:17:53
Broken ribs. Slight shoulder separation.
Broken finger.
1:17:57
In danger of being run over.
Mouse crawled to the shoulder.
1:18:00
Baja has a way of educating you.
1:18:03
Push that edge that far down there,
and you're done.
1:18:07
T was around 5:00 in the morning
when Robby Gordon.
1:18:10
Who'd stayed in the race on sheer fury.
Finally had to admit defeat.
1:18:13
If we were to continue down
to the big bumps we were at in San Felipe,
1:18:16
we'd basically break
the back half of the truck off
1:18:18
with it slamming as hard
as it was slamming.
1:18:20
We made a unanimous decision
to load the thing on the trailer,
1:18:22
and that was probably
one of the hardest things to do,
1:18:24
especially all the hard work
1:18:25
that the whole team put
into getting to the Baja 1000.
1:18:28
If you can't win,
you at least wanna finish.
1:18:30
And this year's 1000 we didn't finish.
1:18:34
A driver will often work up to eight hours
to get back in the race.
1:18:37
When he sees the trailer. It's a feeling
of embarrassment and emptiness.
1:18:40
Why do they do it?
1:18:43
It's not 'cause you're crazy
or you got a death wish.
1:18:45
It's competition.
1:18:47
Fighters don't fight to hurt people,
they fight to win.
1:18:50
Racers don't race
because they wanna die.
1:18:52
They wanna go fast.
That's my high.
1:18:54
That's the way I manipulate my life,
1:18:57
is through mechanics
of a machine.
