oh for sure it's stressful yeah my
rabbit wheels just or my mouth wheel or
whatever you want to call it's just
spinning non-stop going how can we be
just a little bit faster
for this baja 1000 there's a lot of
pressure there he really wants to do
well for kenya he wants it as bad for
canyon as he wants it for himself
you know i've told you before i hate the
feeling of race mourning so i just want
to like distract my mind and get to the
start line as fast as we can
in that sense is a little bit like me
when i raced i just didn't want to talk
to anybody
morning morning
he's sleeping in or what hey coffee man
slept in i had to bring your dad one
do we have enough fuel you need like 180
gallons it's a lot easier when there's
less people around me you know when uh
when it's just like a small group when
we're pre-running it's super easy for me
and then all of a sudden everybody kind
of rushes in
yo
how far out are you
okay i'll see you in a second it is a
different atmosphere than we're used to
a different group of people a lot more
people than we normally have down there
it wasn't just my core group of guys
what's up how are you doing man went on
crazy i was thinking about this morning
i'm like dude what do we sign up for
everybody's trying to help so much that
sometimes it's almost too many people
helping
the other half of our crew show up today
we're getting the final preparations
ready uh getting the fuel jugs filled up
just going over our notes for our pitch
strategy and last minute little things
to to get ready for tomorrow yeah so
you've got him at rm226 staging ready
for a visual at the road crossing but
yet he's got to get down here at 300 to
help me fuel he's not going to make it
that was the only thing i saw so logan's
another factor k name guy he comes down
here and helps us with the ball races
figuring out who takes how much fuel and
where it's like it was just a small
group of us pre-running and last night
we came here and it was like the
intensity was just like let me do this
dude
when we first started racing you know
five years ago i was more hands-on
helping him do things all right thank
you guys
but he's developed to be such a
phenomenal organizer that he's just
got it together
we had a little bit of a hectic morning
with everybody here i always say i'm
gonna rest on the on the last day and
not do anything but
it actually makes me calmer to be in the
car instead of sitting here in the hotel
so go top it off the fuel go run that 30
mile section one more time and then come
back and hopefully relax the rest of the
day
really never having done a race this
long is like in my head just constantly
replaying what kind of pace we should
push the car you know constantly like
bouncing ideas off of everybody even
though when i bounce an idea off them i
wasn't really going to listen to what
they had to say
for mexico the people are awesome down
there of course i love mexican food so
that's a big draw you know the children
down there are awesome you're out in the
middle of nowhere and you've been
haven't seen anybody for an hour next
thing you know there's 15 or 20 people
standing there cheering you on so it's
pretty cool
any allergies nope any medical
this race i got a little different
strategy just because it's so long i
know it's gonna be a little more
physically exhausting every time before
the race we get an iv and hydrate us and
she put some vitamins a little
concoction in there and gets us dialed
in what does the magnesium do for you it
helps with muscle cramping a lot
spend a lot more time on strategy to try
to take some stress off of me just so i
can really like mentally prepare for
this one
uh the race starts we need to be in
staging at like 8 15.
all right love you up bye
hey brecken will you
fill the camelbacks with water grab that
gps chip out of it too for the larance
it's it's a mission you know every every
single race to show up with a winning
car and a winning attitude and and phil
and i just being a winning duo you know
it's like
every race we we come prepared
yeah where do you want the belt out
chris i would be i think our biggest
accomplishment just that be able to hang
about 1 000 trophy on the wall is is a
big thing to fill in and a can in
now we see if a year's worth of work
pans out
nothing more we can do now
slept terrible worst nights deep we've
had since we're down here normal free
radical so fine
it's race day all day and tomorrow
well race morning i'm just thinking
about like how i can get the time to go
by and get in that race car i only puked
in the toilet once in the trash can once
i'm typically in the hotel room with bo
now i'm in the hotel room with chris but
i can sense his nerves you know i mean
that's a huge race he's only raced with
me one other time and now i'm putting
him in this race with tons of pressure
so yeah
hey good luck brother yeah a couple
miles
every race morning i go why do i put
myself through this
if i just purely think about the race
i'm gonna get
too
nervous if i can distract myself from
the actual race itself i can stay
more calm
down auburn california
as soon as the flag drops the nerves are
gone i just i'm just like it's just
peaceful i'm just racing
so i'm just gonna go out there i'm gonna
drive my car and have fun not make
mistakes and then i'm gonna start racing
essentially the next day
in my mind the race wasn't going to
start until mile 1000.
he's one of those people i talked about
a little earlier that he goes there to
win you know you hear about people they
live eat and breathe things that's him
he
lives for this
it's kind of all blur but i think i got
out of the car at like 9 30 at night bo
knew the pace and we'd talked about it
so much and what we thought it would
take to win and i think beau did like
everything perfect
and we were 15 minutes ahead of the next
car
i really wanted to break the other cars
out of the race and all of a suddenly
like hey you have a 50-minute lead on
them
you only get one chance to win it your
very first time out there so that's what
we wanted to do
[Music]
long 26 hours here we are our first baja
1000 it's brutal but that's what we sign
up for you know it's desert racing so it
was a fun crazy experience for sure
so you're big
what's that you beat baja i think so i
don't know i mean i think it beat me up
too
leading into this whole entire season i
i've known k m's never won the utv class
at the baja 1000. we wanted to be the
team that was going to win it for him
for the first time ever everybody said
like there's no way you can go through
that whole race without putting a wrench
on the car and we never put a wrench on
it i can't it was flawless the whole
entire time
you know it's weird for me to think that
people are going to remember beau and i
winning all these races because to us it
just like we've raced since we were
little so it just feels normal to go out
there and do it
i never really liked relishing our race
wins i guess for some reason that's just
like an emotion that i don't have just
feels like we went down there and we set
our plan and we accomplished it
[Music]
you
