great new Baja 1000 DVD release "Baja 1000 Classic by Bruce Brown"
I recently watched a new DVD release of the 1968 Baja 1000 that was covered by Bruce Brown for Wide World of Sports. I hate to say it but this race coverage is almost 40 years old and it blows away anything I have seen recently. They have great heli footage and even some on-board footage from James Garner's Bronco (yes from a film camera....).
If you like Dust to Glory and Drive like hell this is a must have for the collection.
"Professional racers, movie stars, and thrill seekers from around the globe, race across the rugged and unforgiving Mexican Baja peninsula, in 1000 miles of punishing test of man and motorcycle, dune buggies, 4-wheel drive vehicles, and even passenger cars in this exhausting and epic struggle against Baja's grueling terrain and each other. Actor James Garner, racing legends Parnelli Jones and Malcolm Smith all took part in this famous race. "
