The seven-minute video starts with a "damsel in distress" who is left stranded in the desert after ripping through curvy roads behind the wheel of Godzilla. BJ Baldwin comes to the rescue in his truck and takes the lady for an insane ride through the desert, reaching speeds of up to 150 mph. There's plenty of dirt kicked around and sky-high jumps thatwould wreck most road-goingtrucks.
The video may look like it's all fun and games, but Baldwin is a long-time and accomplished racer. Last year he participated in the Baja 1000 racing series and became the first person to drive the entire race (from Ensenada, Baja California to La Paz, Baja Sur California) and win overall.
