Minute 36:39 is where the interview with Malcolm Smith begins, and the ride on a turtle truck getting back is described. The Mexican 1000, at Rancho Santa Ynez, running across Laguna Chapala, etc... for about 3 minutes...

I walked past Malcom Smith's place today, and thought about his involvement in the Baja 1000 events and the years he was active. I'll be sure to watch this, thanks! :light:

For comparison, I had just finished watching these. Here are related links to this years San Felipe 250.

Bobby Bell's helmet cam watches the Honda go by in the first 44 miles.

And then watch the 1X doing it from their point of view.

Very cool comparison. Those aren't 360 Huskies!! And the top riders aren't hitch-hiking home.

That was young Jeff Ward doing wheelies. Went on to become famous with multiple AMA awards, raced Indy cars and then off road trucks.
