00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 - Aaron, where are we?

00:11 - We are at Windrock Park in Oliver Springs, Tennessee.

00:14 - Getting ready to do something

00:16 neither of us have ever attempted before.

00:18 It's real early, bud.

00:19 It's like 7 a.m.

00:20 - Yep, the sun's just coming up.

00:22 - Why are we here at 7 a.m.?

00:23 - We are going to drive this 2022 Polaris Razor Pro R

00:29 and that 2022 Polaris Razor Turbo R for 24 hours straight.

00:33 - Why are we running them for 24 hours straight?

00:35 - We were delivered both of these units

00:37 with zero hours on them

00:38 and they have a 25 hour break-in period.

00:41 - Oh, that's convenient.

00:42 - Yeah, it's great.

00:42 So we can't do anything with them, test them really.

00:46 We can't get the measure of the machine

00:48 until they have 25 hours on them

00:50 because you can't bury the throttle

00:52 until you've vetted the rings.

00:54 So we've got a lot of driving to do.

00:57 - Well, it's not just gonna be us though, right?

00:59 - No, we have a crew of eight guys, including us,

01:03 and we're gonna go in three hour shifts,

01:06 which seems responsible when you say it on paper.

01:09 We'll see how that lasts.

01:11 And each guy's gonna get a three hour shift in each rig

01:13 and ain't nothing to it, but to do it.

01:16 I think we oughta...

01:17 - Do they know that we're doing it for 24 hours?

01:20 - We told them.

01:21 It was in the email.

01:22 - All right, all right.

01:23 - Did anybody read that?

01:24 - That's fine.

01:25 - All right, we're good.

01:25 - All right, let's do it.

01:26 (upbeat music)

01:29 - I gotta say, the Pro-R is everything

01:46 that Polaris promised us.

01:48 Pulls from zero to red line.

01:49 It just goes and goes and goes.

01:51 There's torque everywhere.

01:53 Combination of that and the PBT,

01:56 you never have to worry.

01:57 It is as happy crawling up a mountain

01:59 as it is wide open down a gravel road.

02:01 The Pro-R, it's, I don't know, 18 inches longer

02:05 by wheelbase than the Turbo-R,

02:07 and that shows.

02:09 It is so stable.

02:10 We don't dish out praise that handsome that often,

02:13 and here we are.

02:15 ♪ It's take me ♪

02:16 ♪ Oh, down the river ♪

02:19 ♪ Where the kids can't find a friend and a sinner ♪

02:22 ♪ Oh, where the grave can't cry ♪

02:27 ♪ 'Cause I don't know ♪

02:30 ♪ Down the river with a hand on a coat ♪

02:33 ♪ And a finger on the trigger ♪

02:34 ♪ And I know ♪

02:37 ♪ Before dawn they try to find me ♪

02:40 ♪ So take me on down ♪

02:45 ♪ Oh, take me on down ♪

02:52 ♪ Take me, just take me on down ♪

02:57 ♪ Oh, take me on down ♪

03:02 ♪ Yeah ♪

03:22 - We're almost 11 hours in exactly right now.

03:25 - Yep.

03:26 - And what you can't see is a partially disassembled Pro-R.

03:31 No fault of the Pro-R.

03:33 I gave a very clear, very ominous speech this morning

03:36 about how the supply chain had put us in a tight spot.

03:39 We couldn't get any spare wheels and tires,

03:41 and on the very first run,

03:43 I put a spectacular gash in the sidewall.

03:45 - Well, we got that one fixed.

03:46 That one wasn't, we had a sidewall slug in it

03:49 in about, what, 15 minutes?

03:51 - Yeah. - Which worked great.

03:52 - Yep, sealed it right up,

03:53 and it seemed that everything would be--

03:55 - Hunky dory. - Hunky dory from there.

03:57 And run two. - Run two.

03:59 - Put a screen door in the same wheel.

04:02 - Yep, windowed it, as they say.

04:04 - Windowed it, went down to the general store,

04:06 they sell a thing called a glue tread.

04:07 - Yeah, it's a bunch of super glue and a piece of rubber.

04:09 - We had, I guess, like, run two and a half with the Pro-R.

04:14 The screen door came open again.

04:17 So we had to go pick the Pro-R up.

04:19 - Yep.

04:20 - And trailer it back.

04:21 - And this whole time, the Razor Turbo-R

04:25 has been running back and forth.

04:27 I think between the two of them, we've managed six laps.

04:30 So, well, and we're off-roading, you know?

04:33 This kind of stuff.

04:34 - Exactly, right?

04:34 We were talking about this earlier.

04:35 If off-roading was all cupcakes and roses,

04:40 it would be boring, right?

04:40 - Why would you do it? - Why would you do it?

04:42 Some of the fun is squaring off against an obstacle.

04:44 Sometimes that obstacle is a rock.

04:45 Sometimes it's two to three holes in your tire.

04:48 - Yep, and either way,

04:50 you know, you're left without a choice.

04:52 You have to meet it. - Right.

04:53 - Or you put it on the trailer and go home,

04:55 and that's no fun.

04:56 - Yeah, no, we wouldn't do that.

04:58 So, anyway, that's the SitRep.

05:00 It's about to get dark.

05:02 We're going to keep driving after two or three burgers.

05:04 So, you know, no starry night for us,

05:07 but again, Type 2 fun.

05:09 Type 2 fun.

05:10 - We're gonna get it done.

05:21 - That's all I got. - Yeah, that's perfect.

05:23 - Were you looking at me like that before?

05:23 - No, no. (laughing)

05:26 (thunder rumbling)

05:29 What happened?

05:30 - Did a little tumble.

05:33 - Okay? - Yeah.

05:36 - Sure? - Yeah.

05:36 - All right.

05:38 - Yep, those are in fact off the be, oh my.

05:45 - Go ahead and turn the lights off if you don't care to.

05:47 - Did you stop and take a look at the...

05:52 (footsteps crunching)
