Dust to Glory
Weatherman to all checkpoints.
I'm looking for status on 99 Alpha, please,
between Valle de Trinidad and Milling.
They race the clock
in a land that defies time,
Sharing an adventure in a place
where reality is on holiday.
It's the most beautiful place in the world.
It's the most scary place in the world.
And it's the most
desolate, quiet place.
You love it, you hate it, you love it,
you hate it, you love it, you hate it.
You don't wanna be there,
you wanna be there.
It's like a girl that breaks your heart.
"I hate you, I never
wanna see you again.
I'm sorry.
Can I come over?"
You look up at the stars
and there's no smog.
you hear the birds.
You hear the whales,
you hear the seals.
that opportunity to feel that,
to get closer to something
that's more instinctual.
It's difficult to put into words
because it's an emotion.
That's what Baja is,
something you feel.
What do you call a race where
anybody with any vehicle can enter,
a race where 200,000 spectators
come but no one pays admission,
A race that takes 32 hours
for 1,200 people
to battle 1,000 merciless miles
for a million different reasons?
Call it the Tecate Score Baja 1000.
and he said it's like being
in a 24-hour plane crash.
'Cause the 1000,
so much can go on.
Think about what happens,
you know, in the Daytona 500.
And they're going
around a smooth track,
and the pit's
in the same spot every time.
You know, we got
buses and cows and horses and...
Mountains and beaches and deserts.
You're in dust, you're in rocks.
It's gullies, it's washouts,
it's 100 miles an hour, 20 miles an hour.
So many roads out there,
and little ranches here and there.
Every one of these jumps,
every one of these turns
is different than the last one.
Tell you what,
you don't fall asleep here.
I lived it, I ate it, I slept it,
and I can totally understand
when other people
get caught up in the mystique of it,
trying to beat time itself
and get to the finish line.
It's an unreal feeling.
It's only about 100 miles
south of San Diego,
but Ensenada is a whole nother world.
and the closer you get to it,
The more confusing it becomes.
Mouse had the inspiration
and Fish gave his approval,
But it was my good buddy Scott Waugh
who convinced me to make this movie
about the longest nonstop
point-to-point race in the world.
My name is Dana Brown.
And when I thought I knew,
I hadn't a clue.
We got Dana Brown.
Dana just came out of Step Into Liquid.
They are doing a feature
called Dust to Glory
on the Tecate Score Baja 1000.
That's Sal Fish. He's in charge.
An honest promoter.
Why not? This whole thing started
with a stuntman nicknamed after a rodent.
- There's the odds.
- Hey, we're three-to-one.
Look at this.
I'm two-to-one favorite.
This is Mouse. A real force of nature.
Somehow you always end up doing
whatever he's doing.
Take his posse... one legend
and two childhood friends.
Also getting sucked into Mouse's orbit
were the Griders, Andy and Neil.
Andy won the 1000 last year.
- Can you bet this?
- Yeah, at Caliente.
Hey, Billy, you can bet this
at Caliente.
Let's put some odds on ourselves.
Let's go bet on ourselves.
I think in Mexico you can do that.
It's not like...
Who's that guy... Pete Rose?
Seems like everybody
enters the 1000.
They've raced everything here
from Rolls-Royces to Winnebagos.
The Bago didn't make it very far.
These racers are
from all walks of life.
Including the prodigal son,
The Hawaiian surfer,
