Dust to Glory Page #12

They look for it in the win,

in the finish, and in the attempt,

because the journey

can justify the destination.

In one word,

the Baja 1000 for me is... love.

It's romantic.

It's awesome.

Tough.

Exciting.

A challenge.

Perseverance.

Tough.

Patience.

A lot of patience.

It's beautiful.

For me, it's just adventure.

I mean, it's such an adventure.

Well, I got a different word,

now that I'm thinking about it.

It's more mystical.

It is mystical.

It has a sense and a spirit of its own.

I think it's just life.

In one day, you kind of get

to experience everything.

You get great things happen

and terrible things happen,

and it's how you deal with 'em

at the end of the night.

It's like life.

A thousand miles and 32 hours

can be a lifetime in a blink.

Do they find glory?

I couldn't say,

because the race never ends.

But if they do, it's in the dust,

and it won't wash away.

What it is, it's like a flying couch.

You know?

That is probably the best way

to explain it.

It's like sitting in your living room.

Yeah, it is a living room

and a flying couch

and just stay out of the big ditches.

My buddy,

here's my buddy Steve Matzinger.

Yeah, baby.

Oh, yeah. Baja!

- He really wants to make the cut.

- I wanna be in the movie!

- He's not gonna be on the movie.

- I wanna be in the big pictures.

Baja!

And as soon as we turned off

the little light on the generator,

we saw the...

thought the floor was moving.

We turned it on,

and it was solid cockroaches.

I was, like, "Oh, my God."

So I ran out to my pack

and got a gallon of gas

and ran a moat around my pack.

And me and Bob, we had to sleep

in the same bed.

I said, "We're probably

gonna get asphyxiated,

but at least we're not gonna get eaten."

And in the morning there was

a bunch of melted cockroaches.

I'm Don.

I'm one of the sound mixers.

Right now we're making up cables,

custom cables for each camera.

We've got one of Don's...

What kind of mike is that?

Active... a 48-volt mike,

which is a supercardioid pattern.

Check, check, check.

Check, check, check one, two.

Check on this side, right,

check on left side.

Check. Check.

When those motorcycles turn on,

it's loud. Loud!

We're yelling right now

because we've got a bunch

of loud motorcycles back here.

So we're just checking the levels,

and see how they're doing.

How's that?

These cameras have a lot of switches

that need to be in the right places,

we discovered.

Right.

What would Scorsese do?

Talk real fast. We know that.

You know, Joe Pesci, he hit

all these guys in the head with a shovel.

Not bad.

Not bad. But where we gonna

get Joe Pesci, let alone a shovel?

Editor... Dana Brown.

He's trying to cover up Matzinger,

which I got it.

I still got...

I can still make out Matzinger.

Do you mind?

With the constant...

the constant paparazzi trip.

Like a candid camera.

You know what you do?

You can fix your hair in this thing.

Hey, there's a camera

behind that big piece of glass.

Dana's crazy. This is the biggest,

craziest movie ever made.

Ever.

Sorry man, I'm just going, "Whoa,

I'm gonna knock that guy on his butt."

Saw

Yeah, well, you only missed him

by about 12 inches.

Yeah?

What were you shooting,

Herr producer?

We were shooting a little place

called Valle de Trinidad.

- See all that spit fly like that?

- Yeah. Yeah.

That's the effect that I have.

Who said there wasn't special effects

on this movie?

Yeah, is that...

Is that you speaking Spanish,

spitting all over?

That is. It's...

This is the first time

we're going off-roading.

- So, driver...

- We're attempting the off-road race.

Here we go.

Off-road.

- And we're off!

- Here we go, Matzinger in the front.

- Good!

- Matzinger! Matzinger!

Here we go!

Safe at last.

I think we're definitely

trophy truck material now.

Yeah. Robby Gordon,

we got your number.
