    S01E09: The Worst Thousand

    In 2016, the Performance Team drove two BC cars in the Baja 1000. However, this year, almost everyone on the team got sick. Some folks couldn't race; some chose to get sick in the car; but at the end the BC teams took home a 1-2 finish in their class.

    S01E08: The Pits

    The Baja 1000 is rightly focused on racing, but to get from start to finish, you need a support system. The BFG Pits — a mostly volunteer crew of mechanics, engineers, and enthusiasts — have been that support system for years. We talk with Bob Bower, the founder of the pit support network, as well as Nate Hunt, who currently oversees the pits.

    Grassroots means many things to many people. In this episode, we hear from a gamut of racers: off-road and on-road; inexperienced and experienced; weekend autocrossers and trophy truck drivers. As it turns out, grassroots isn't just about resources. It's an attitude and a mindset.
