At 1000 miles long, the Baja 1000 Classic is the world's longest off-road motorcycle race and takes racers down the length of Baja California for some of the harshest desert terrain imaginable. The legendary event was still in its infancy when acclaimed sports documentarian Bruce Brown (THE ENDLESS SUMMER, ON ANY SUNDAY) traveled to Mexico to film the second annual race in 1968, which included actor James Garner and professional racers Larry Berquist, Larry Minor, Parnelli Jones, and Malcolm Smith among its participants. Co-edited by Wes Brown (Bruce's grandson) and his filmmaking partner T.J. Barrack, BAJA 1000 CLASSIC assembles Brown's never-before-released footage into a high-adrenaline documentary that serves as a historic look at the dawn of off-road motorcycle racing. [More]
