Racing The BAJA 1000 Is No Joke

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- What an experience! Going down the Baja peninsula to race the famous Baja 1000, was amazing! Although faced with challenges every step of building the race car, we still managed to get down and across the starting line.  I’m grateful for the friends I got to share this trip with and with you for watching!

Rudy, that was your best video ever and you even kept up the family tradition of running out of gas.
That's hilarious 😂
Mat would be proud!
It wasn’t Rudy though, Rudy was the one who had the extra fuel
@@geraldhenriksen3664thanks captain obvious 🤷♂️
His formula is to copy his dad whom gave him his UA-cam career and yet Rudy abandoned him. Typical Genz Kid who can't pave their own path without the nipple.
It was fascinating to see the Baja1000 like that. No course markers, no closed roads. That is insane and I now understand why it is considered so grueling with deaths almost every race.
Great video Rudy. Thanks for letting us participate even for just 1 day.
That's more of a obstacle coarse more than a race, lol, people, vehicles, animals and you name it everywhere
Rudy, Putting the "Adventure" in RAD. This is a good one!
Fantastic video, 1 of my favorites, you guys gave it a great try
As the saying goes "you guys got your ass handed to you." Still I think everyone gave it 110%. Win, loose, draw or crash & burn... there is nothing better than living your dream. Most enjoyable video on your channel. 💖
Yeah i agree It was a really good video.....
Hands down one of your best videos to date. Great try and hell not to many peeps can say they have been to the Baja 1000 let alone competed. You guys rock brother...🤓
It usually takes two or three attempts before you actually finish a Baja race. You keep trying and you’ll be hooked. The first time I met you in your dad’s shop, you were just building the Morrvair and I was returning to Washington from my race in Baja.
You know how to make a small fortune in offroad racing?
Start with a big fortune!
Many men have become moderately rich from racing, they were billionaires when they started....
Great one Rudy and Janell. The filming AND editing was amazing 🤌
Fun while it lasted 😢. Now that you’ve done a small piece of it, the TEAM will go back and brainstorm the improvements needed for the Jeep and I’m betting this SAND MOUNTAIN OFF-ROAD TEAM will be back and FINISH the race👍🇺🇸
I hope you guys do it again don't give up!!! As someone who raced the 50th Baja 1000 in a vintage cj jeep it is a grueling race! We finished the 50th anniversary but dnf the next 2 races with overheating issues as well and cracked crank! There is the mint 400 that's in the states you guys should do if you want to get a shakedown of the jeep next time and then go back and conquer the Baja 1000!!!
Guys, I hope you do not feel disappointed, we all have to walk before we can run, that's life. The video was GREAT, I think your best.
You are right, the race is no joke. To take an untested rig there was really sporty. Ya’ll learned a lot and the team pulled together to stretch as far as you could. What an adventure.
Guys it's a pity that it didn't went better, cheer up next year it will go much better!
This seems like the Iron Man of motorsports. Winning the darn thing probably takes a budget of millions. But finishing the BAJA 1000 in a vehicle you built yourself has to be one of the greatest feelings of a lifetime. Great video, you learned a lot so hopefully you can eliminate those issues and try again next year!
There’s a multitude of classes so the lower class guys maybe not but the overall winner is sponsored by Red Bull and is in a million dollar trophy truck haha
Great adventure, and my hat's off to the editor! The whole video offered a look into the Baja 1000 that we seldom get to see.
Hate to reiterate what everyone has said but seriously Rudy, this is the best video to date. I'm proud of you guys even getting as far as you did with all the obstacles you had. Can't wait for the vid next year!!! Thank you so much for the content. I truly look forward to every one of your videos.
dude you can totally feel the emotion in that opening in car footage at the line, wow thats intense.
Sorry you guys didn't get to finish. But hey!! Y'all showed up. That's awesome!! My favorite RAD video yet!!
This is the epitome of Rudy's Adventure and Design -- you met the name perfectly! Its been a wonderful treat watching you grow from your dad's channel into your own man! Thank you so much to you and Janelle for sharing your lives! I look forward to seeing Janelle start her racing career! Good luck you two!!
If I were to have seen an ad saying "baja 1000 video" I probably would have skipped it. But because it was Rudy, I stuck it out and Boy, am I glad I did. That was very nicely produced video Rudy. I wish the results were different but it looked like you guys had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the video so much that when the guys said good-by, I felt the emotion as if I were right there with them.
Hey, I know that local that was helping you when you ran out of fuel. His name is Alex. We've spent many of days in baja together with our families. Good dude
----RUDY Please put out videos more often!! This is by far the best video you've put out!! I don't usually like videos this long but dam!!!
That is nothing like I ever imagined.
You guys should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. There is nothing wrong with pulling out of a race before serious damage or injury occurs. Good job!
I raced SCORE and BITD for years and only DNF once. The goal is to finish. The position is nice but the finish is huge! Great job. Huge learning curve!
Oh you know he learned some much deserved experience and will come next time with a rig that he built or upgraded that will be suffice and hopefully he will atleast finish...🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😁😁
That was awesome to watch,,,, especially the view face the driver and co-driver.... but yeah,,,, several break downs and noticing further damage was the time to pull the plug.... oh and nice editing on this episode.... This was a "Rudy's Adventure"
Rudy, you are kicking your Dad’s butt with this Baja 1000 video. Can’t wait to see more!!
No substitute for testing, testing and testing again, until everything that could break has broken and been fixed. Better luck next year :-)
Great content I found myself emotionally invested in this one. Fer real. I really enjoyed watching this one.
I would have loved to have seen Rudy drive!
But that's the Baja 1000. It's a huge accomplishment just to finish it.
I've seen amazing fabricators build incredible vehicles, take them to Baja and break down in 15 minutes, permanently.
Looks like you had a great crew. Who built a great vehicle. I say do it again next year!!
Really makes you impressed at how much those top trophy trucks can take. A great effort still sucks though 😢. I followed a small teams effort some years ago a really cool build you guys did better then they did I’m not sure they were able to start the race!
The guy at the end was funny 😂
Awesome sauce Rudy!!! What a journey, a memory of a lifetime!! The Baja will bring a well made vehicle to it's knees!!
Wow; what a trip, running the BAJA 1000 !!! Sorry y'all's rig broke down, but, I would imagine it would take at least a few months of testing a rig to work out the bugs so it would finish that course. Just glad everyones OK and the rig is still repairable. Hope y'all can all have the opportunity it try it again someday. Great video !!!
Awesome video! Best yet! BAJA is a heartbreaker! now you have tasted the dust, see you back next year BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER!
Oh you know he gained some much deserved experience and will build something or upgrade something to be suffice 😂😂😂😂😂
Its so cool you got stickers there just for all the young fans .
Thank you for taking us on the trip! Video was on point made me feel like I was in the jeep!!! AWESOME DUDE!!!
Thanks for taking us along better luck next year😊
Since you guys are based out of Utah check out the Bonneville Off-road series! It’s a desert racing series with most races in utah (wendover, knolls, and vernal) also with races in Nevada and western Colorado! It’s a small series that’s absolutely mint for getting seat time. I’ve raced it for years in a class one car and our jeepspeed unlimited truck(it’s how I learned the ropes when I first started). I think it would be great for your team! Keep up the great work and best of luck
I didn't know this, are spectators allowed?
I have to admit, when I saw this video was over an hour long, I was going to skip it. BUT.... Because I have always had a fascination with the Baja 1000 (and Paris Dakar Rally) I said lets see what this is about. Hands down your best video yet! I was hooked and would have watched another hour of it. Sorry you guys didn't even last one day but honestly, many new teams go through this. Now you know what to focus on to repair the Jeep. Get out and do some more local events. Fine tune it and get back out there next year with one goal... make it to the end. It doesn't make a difference where you wind up in placing or how many hours behind you are, just make it to the end. I look forward to seeing the future progress of this.
Problem solving under pressure. Way to go!
For the first attempt you guys did great! It’s not the Baja 1000 for nothing. It’s a brutal test of man and machine! You all can out with wisdom and the ability to try again! Enjoyed the video a lot. Being from stg and growing up in the desert racing anything I could down the AZ Strip I’ve always wanted to try the Baja race!
Thanks for taking us on this adventure!
Definitely an adventure you'll remember forever. Lots to learn from this outing and probably even more from the experienced veterans of this race.
Thanks for taking us with you Rudy ! ,,, Anyone who know anything about the Baja Race knows it breaks vehicles !! .. Next time your team will be better prepared and have some experiance under your belts. I really enjoyed this one 🚙❤👍
Looks like what I remember from driving/co-driving a chase truck on the 1000, WITHOUT GPS.. That was 50yrs ago....
Well done to the team. Valuable lessons learnt. If you don't try it you'd never learn. To compete is a win, in the Baja 1000!!!
What an awesome adventure that was. You should all be proud of yourselves for that build surviving almost 100 miles of baja with almost no shakedown time. Looking forward to seeing where all this goes...God bless!
Rudy this is by far your best video the quality of getting to watch the drivers work through the problems is awesome. You did great putting this vid together. I will co drive with u i absolutely am qualified.
Best video so far on your channel so far. And best I have seen on UA-cam lately!!!
Also just know that finishing the Baja 1000 is a feat in itself.
This is video is as good as any documentary. Awesome adventure, thanks for bring us along.
Best video yet!!! Cant wait to see you race Rudy!!!
25 years ago me and a couple of friends built a dessert racer. Our primary concern was to eliminate as much electrical needs as possible. When all said and done, our truck had 27 individual pieces of wire. I used a Borg-Warner T-20 trans, with a 205 transfer. Rockwell axles with manual steering. This vid shows why I made every one of those choices. The truck still races today, it's had one more auxillary power system routed since then, for lighting and navigation.
I've always thought the KISS principal was the king when it comes to racing.
I can easily maintain 90 mph with my 400 horse power coming out of my normally aspirated small block chevy.
But hey, if you're into breaking down, use your modern stuff. I won't, I like finishing races.
Have fun all.
I cant believe the people in the road!! LOL
Very well put together Rudy. Quality production with great content. Enjoyable.
Epic video Rudy! Can’t wait to see this Jeep finish next year!
Love the video!!! We were down there for the race. We have a house down south of San Felipe. Happy to help out if you guys need support down there!! Reach out
Rudy is not a hoarder, he’s just smart because he knows that the new stuff is crap! Great vids Rudy, keep them coming.
I believe that at 25:30 it is how you end up on locked up abroad not Matt’s off road recover
Now you guys have a year to really test everything. Nice seeing it cruise at speed.
That was nice to be "part of it" by watching you.
Nice work RAD and friends. Thanks for sharing a different view of the Baja race. Looking forward to next year's video of the race. Don't listen to the fans on the side of the road! Should have learned that from Rat Race, and bought the squirrels from the hillbillies!
Great effort...many obstacles to overcome not the least making a car bullet proof ...beutiful scenery
Barstow to Vegas is a good race you guys should try, there’s also a lot of races in that area that are similar terrain that would be good for you guys to try. Any SCORE races really. At least you guys got a taste of what’s to come if you decide to pursue this endeavor.
WOW! Thanks for taken us along. What a ride!
One of my friends completed this years Baja 1000 in a '72 Bronco. After watching the video from in car it was grueling. They won their class and were the only ones in their class to finish. You guys should do a couple of the Nevada races like Silver State or Vegas to Reno to get a good shakedown. Good video and hope you guys get the bugs worked out.
I would add a 200 amp welding alternator set up on it so you can do repairs on the trail.
Rudy awesome thanks for taking us along.Really enjoyed this being part of the race and pit.
Looks like a great adventure with some good friends. I am glad we got to come along.
Congratulations Rudy, you and the team did great!
The smile on Rudy's face says it all
Having a beard is awesome! Just recently started watching your channel! I'm a derby freak and your dad's content is awesome so obviously yours is gonna be great too! As far as beard goes, it's yours, do anything and everything with it! You are blessed!😂 POUNDTOWN NATION ILLINOIS!
What an amazing adventure. The breakdown was heartbreaking, but the team did an excellent job. Thanks for putting this out there.
Bro what a Video hope you try it next year again
Wow what a great video, thank you Rudy and Crew. Yeah racing is tough that second guy that was driving was kickin ass man. Well hey work out the kinks and I really think you all will do well next year. Try to do more Pre running and test driving before you go next year. Thanks for the video guy's can't wait for the next one.
All you guys should be proud of what you accomplished dang I would have loved to have been part of that, living the dream through guys like you
Sorry you guys had problems but the experience and friendship you all have is great. Just being able to do this must have been unbelievable. I will be definitely following you for a long time. Good luck in all you future endeavors.
Great video, The editor did a great job. Look forward to more adventures like this.
Best video ever, congratulations on the effort.
Pretty crazy taking an untested rig to Baja. Even slight testing would've exposed an overheating problem.
Hey, you guys got the chance to run it. A lot of us can't say the same.
Great adventure - great video - thanks for sharing. Definitely change of pace.
Looks very fun. Also the scooters are the best way to get around and see a new place
At 9:50 so typical, Rudy is talking and explaining, and Jenelle is just getting stuff done. I guess I am a Jenelle fan.
Top notch video, enjoyed every minute! Sorry you had to pull out of the race early, but that was a fantastic run for your 1st effort, with the machine built in just 6 months!
Video content, editing, and action was just gripping! Loved it!
This is Great!!!
it would be a miracle if you guys made it first time. the little experience you got is worth it. DNF is not a bad thing, It just means you get to make it better next time.
Ford did it with the Raptor the first time lol
@@evictioncarpentry2628 Ford and RAD is at same level? I didn't know that.
@@jadenseph1809 It's an OEM vehicle. Arguably far crappier then a custom build.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 arguably is the key word there. RAD jeep is crappier than the Raptor by miles. Few miles and overheated? Trans line burst not even 100miles in? If the Raptor is crappier, then it would not even cross the start line.
Ford has dedicated RnD with a bunch of engineers to create a truck that can go Baja. Years of tests and works. The jeep? 6months and change building it after work, tested only a few weeks at best after build. If anything, the stock jeep will actually do better than the custom build just like the Raptor.
That was a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.
Rudy, I really enjoyed this video. I never have had the opportunity to do something like this, but I enjoyed every minute of this video.
Well at least you all tried and had a great experience from it.
You'll kill it next year. Lots learned this run.
Bummer! Sucks about the overheating!
Loved the race footage! It's great to see authentic footage and not just highlights like everyone else. That grille looks awfully narrow for the amount of air it needs to flow. Hit up the editor of The Autopian, David Tracy. He was a cooling system engineer for Jeep in a previous life.
It’s like watching “Dust to Glory” again. Awesome job guys!
Absolutely amazing video! My favorite by far from your channel. What an adventure!
What a race. Y'all did well for your first time.
It's a shame you guys had so many issues out there. I'm sure it was a blast to participate in it regardless. What a dream come true! I hope you guys put that rig through some rigorous testing, go back out there, compete, and finish in a following year. Best of luck!
OMG😂 I love your mustache😂🎉
Great job guys. No shame in calling it, you gave it your best shot. You’ll get em next time. That’s a unique adventure and an awesome memory.
My heart soars seeing you two together. Lots of happiness and good times.
Too bad everyone didn’t get a turn at driving but I’m certain you learned a lot and will be stronger next year. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure .
