From Dust to Glory

I can honestly say that I have never held even a remote interest in any sort of car or motorbike racing.....until watching this documentary. The beginning feels very standard with the who's who of the Baha 1000 mile race. About half an hour in when considering switching to something else all of a sudden this became a great human piece where a knowledge or interest in racing suddenly was of no consequence. When you meet people like Weather Man who sets up a broadcast station high up to help combat the lack of communication and Mouse who intends to complete 1000 miles himself on a motorbike as opposed to the traditional team relay method it is impossible to not care. All of a sudden these are great guys sitting reminiscing about the amazing experiences they have encountered and shared whether it be their first race or their 20th completing such a mammoth track. The reality of danger is there ever moment with the death of a spectator which could happen at any moment when there is no barrier to separate the racers from the fans. It doesn't matter what anybody's involvement is, they all have this humungous near death speed thrill that will bond them for life.
