My First Race In Baja Mexico!

[@dennman8832]

Man that was nerve wracking! Driving in that dust cloud, you did fantastic.

[@240_Jordy]

Total adrenaline rush! What a fricken dust storm!

[@christopherthompson4359]

Very very awesome. I wanna do it too.

[@wyattblessing7078]

That was insanely intense. That was more spectator adrenaline than any thing Hollywood ever put out.

[@BruceCookfmx]

Intense is a good descriptive word for it, yup! 😅

[@seaweed556]

On the edge of my chair ! Wow that is intense. Loven it . 😊

[@chammiweerasekera8101]

The legend is back!

[@davidking3699]

Cows, Excavators... all more of a hazard than any snow banks...

[@garrykennedy5484]

This feels like a video game where there are no rules. Just go go go go!!!!! Too bad the brakes were an issue, but then again there's always something right??? Great job Bruce!!!!!! Proud of you man. You did the best with what you had for sure!!!!! You need to do this again and again. I believe you're a natural. If you did this good with little familiarity, just imagine how good you could do with a set up you're familiar with!!!!

[@Gerry-K]

Great driving Bruce!

[@Jan-pw4po]

Awesome driving Bruce, better luck next time, you ROCK

[@tonytrumble]

You have an excellent navigator!!

[@kevbev1524]

I love the Baja, Check ✅

[@andymahaffa3396]

Holy Smokes how cool is that !

[@Grayhook1]

Over the years I was attracted to Baja, watching all the aerial footage and the speed of all the racers. I never made it and at least partly because of how dangerous it really is. It will remain one of those bucket (unobtainable) list items for me. But DAMN!!! It sure looks like fun (to about the twentieth power!!!) and thanks for sharing a bit.👍🏼

[@BruceCookfmx]

It is pretty insane for both racers and spectators. Something that could never happen here

[@Grayhook1]

@@BruceCookfmx I was introduced to motocross in the early 1960’s, in Germany. The first race I watched, in a forest in Bavaria was the most brutal thing I had ever seen. A course cut through a hillside with flags on trees marking it. Thirty minutes of survival with broken bikes and riders getting dragged off the ‘track’ by spectators. Man, I was sold! Early ‘70s my hero was Bengt Aberg and I started destroying race bikes every weekend I could. Again, thanks for taking me back to that spark for a little bit!

[@ToddDownie-d7h]

What a ride !!!!

[@SaltAirLiving]

Fuck yeah. Awesome 😎

[@invisibilianone6288]

THAT,,, Was an AWESOME RUN😎😎😎😎😎☕ You were kicking ass😁 Who built that rig?

[@BruceCookfmx]

Thanks! My friends have a race team in southern Baja. Can’t remember the original builder. Raced their Canam and then trophy truck in the Baja 1000!

[@invisibilianone6288]

Hello from Pa

👋🏻👋🏻

[@JonathanVee]

Holy shit, that was intense! Can't believe that tractor over the crest.. insane! Great Driving Bruce, shame about the fence! 🤣

[@BruceCookfmx]

Yeah… we were surprised to say the least 🤣 Thankfully the locals are good at giving warnings… even if they’re not very clear or in English lol

Stayed in the air for a few! 😂

[@carl6589]

I was shaking while watching this... I do not think my Monster helped tho.

[@ShawnBuckendahl]

Thanks for bringing us along. Seems like a fun way to get your adrenaline rush!

[@philneufeld2279]

Awesome. Was this from last year?? Or is this the second fence you went thru?

[@BruceCookfmx]

Same one lol Just allowed to use audio and different angles now 😁

[@Sdukes001]

A Baja racer once said that running Baja is like trying to control a firecracker and keeping the explosion inside your hand. It’s a fine line between going too fast and not going fast enough. It’s a race against Baja and surviving is the key NOT beating the guy next to you. You can’t win if you can’t finish.

[@braddampier6143]

That looked super fun! Bad luck bud, that’s racing

[@ronaldmurray2660]

Wow.....awesome driving Bruce. Hopefully you have better luck next time.

[@aliceevans3377]

Amazing! Better, more intense than any action movie. I had to laugh at the intro warning about language, totally understandable. I'm not much to cuss but I didn't have a beep for mine!😂 The cows, the grader-- where the beep did that come from! Bruce you've got to do this again! My heart just broke when you went through the fence 💔 Please do it again next year, you had it right there. Thanks for taking us along, safe travels and GOD bless

[@BruceCookfmx]

Next race video coming soon… may have better results… may not 😬😂

[@michaelblankenship548]

I know the feeling. When I finally get past someone slowing me down, I tend to punch it more than I should. And I'm just driving back and forth to work. Crazy ride. Sucks that the brakes weren't working right.

[@fredeschen3783]

That was great! I enjoyed the dialogue. I even learned a new one 😂.

[@dhbikerczar]

Sounds like normal Canadian talk, much more mellow than at a hockey game.

[@CounterproductiveproductionDIY]

That was a spooky ride to experience. Glad you enjoyed it. Should put derby style side bars on those things and you would have laughed at the fence post! Thank you for sharing 👍

[@dennismuha]

This was absolutely insane. Amazing job staying in as long as you did! We need an aftermatch video. Did you get the fenced fixed? did you get the car fixed? how long were you stranded in your vehicle until you could get to your chair?

[@richcarey9883]

Sick driving. You had no brakes. Too much dust.you guys wear making time.looked intense.

[@johnnardino3452]

Bruce you amaze me that was awesome.

[@BruceCookfmx]

Thanks John!

[@dennisvandermarkt8263]

Hell yes dude !!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christix1491]

Holy shit that was awesome & so stressful. How you can drive at those speeds with like 10’ of visibility is fucking nuts! Great job!

[@Buzz420]

I think you guys did good considering

[@michaelkipfer1158]

Nobody passed you,just pinned! You did awesome ,especially them dusty tailgating times when visibility is basically 4 feet at 90 mph...That looks super stressful trying to stay on point with no brakes...Holy S#&T great driving!

[@BruceCookfmx]

😅🍻 thanks!

[@KevIsOffGrid]

Good work, seemed hectic!

It’s a good time! Most of the time 😅

[@michaelcarpenter557]

Very good job, with a brake issue also. Doing this ought to help your adrenaline rush that you may have been missing.

[@CurtisWilliams-ph8wl]

Almost

[@TheBCSledder]

Thats so fuckin badass

[@jeffreysmith4304]

You Absolutely were doing Great You'll do even better next time ; Podium !!! What were you using for "Hand Controls" ? I use them to drive too

[@richardcobb2852]

Bad Ass!!! 👍👍

[@lgreen4479]

Holy crikey! I know you are an adrenaline junky, but that is beyond insanity! No brakes, people in the road, backhoe, grampa drivers, zero visibility. You were just starting to really kick butt, dang. You did well first time out, that track is not there for success. Denny would have had a heart attack in the passenger seat.

[@BruceCookfmx]

Probably better to not make a turn there rather than in about 20km where there was cliffs on either side of the road 😅 He has already let me know that wouldn’t necessarily be something he’d like to help with 😬 can’t blame him

[@bengammell9305]

That truck was pissing me off. I'm sure the roost he was throwing on you didn't feel great. You should have bumper tagged that dude.

[@BruceCookfmx]

You and me both! Lol

[@laytonb7]

My dream & desire for desert racing wained hard when I was plucking around on a track in Az and I watched a Rock shoot from under my passenger front tire the size of a watermelon at head height with a shocking amount of speed …I looked at my passenger and said what if there was someone standing there! It is a different mind set and a different energy that surronds people that excel at these events … All the lessons in a compact easy to revisit snippiette of racing …next time its: travel smoother, make it farther, find the finish line before you think you need to go faster! If you finish your first desert race in a new to you vehicle …its a bad omen!
