Wolfpack Hustle put on the Downtown Los Angeles 2nd St. Tunnel Drag Races on Saturday July 28th.  It was super crack’n with over 2000 spectators.

200 competitors went two up, standing start sprints, 1000 feet, single speed and fix gear only, then the top 16 did drag heats to determine the winner: Tim/Smiley McGee

I asked a half dozen riders before the races started who was the favorite.  More than a couple of boys pointed over to this young kid {pictured here} sitting on rollers warming up.  He spends a lot of time at the Encino Velodrome.  The fix gear crowd is transforming. A lot of those kids are getting serious about competition.  It’s a burgeoning community and I don’t see a lot of primadonnas in the crowd.  They embrace all comers.
