Tracko‘s got some great photos and an even better race recap from the Wolfpack Hustle Midnight Drag Race. Head over to check it out. I don’t think any out of towners will ever get the Dog Tags!

I like good vibes, track bikes and races, which about sums up this video from the Golden Saddle Cyclery Grand Prix at Encino Velodrome:

“Golden Saddle Cyclery hosted an amazing day of races to raise funds for the Encino Velodrome. The races consisted of a 3 category Omnium as well as a separate sprint race. Aside from racing, the highlight would have to be the camaraderie and the amazing food prepared by Todd of Burrito Project fame. Golden Saddle would like to thank the racers, spectators and all of our sponsors who donated prizes to help keep this amazing facility open. A special Thank You goes out to Keiron, of Ride The Black Line, for throwing this great event and allowing us to participate. Make sure to make it out to the rest of the summer series going on through out the months of July and August.

Everyone always has a blast at the Red Bull Minidrome events and the most recent one went down in São Paulo. Thanks for sharing Paulo!

Down in San Antonio, there’s an event called Midnight Crits. It’s a flash-mob style race series, where the details are posted to Facebook the night of. These races take place on random nights, on a .6 mile course, as people battle it out for 16 laps. David’s got a Flickr set up from the second race, so head over and check them out.

And the award for the best race poster goes to…

Trimble Racing is proud to announce the Hatcher Pass Road Race to be held on August 4th, 2012. This unsanctioned 70 mile dirt road race will be contested through the beautiful wilderness of Alaska. The race will begin at the Trimble family cabin near the Independence Mine in the Talkeetna Mountains. After a neutral descent the race will start with a grueling two mile dirt climb up and over the famous Hatcher Pass. At the top of the pass riders will cross from the Palmer side to the Willow side plummeting down the Willow Fishhook Road, a long and technical gravel descent with endless switchback corners. After the nearly thirty mile descent the road levels for a few recovery miles. A checkpoint at the intersection of the Parks Highway marks the halfway point where the riders will turn around and start the long journey back to the Trimble cabin.

This just in from Roadblock:

“July 28th 2012. We are going legit. The Historic 2nd St. Tunnel in Los Angeles gets shut down for Wolfpack Hustle’s first legally permitted race event. At the core is a precision timed all out bicycle sprint race. Hundreds will attempt to qualify, the top 16 men and women will go head to head bracket style till the dog tags get awarded.

Epic trailer guys! Jack, you’re such a nerd…

What an amazing flier. 904 Fixed’s event, Hellcat Alleycat is back for its second year. Check out more information below.

Yellow Bike Company just posted up the trailer for the 2012 Kuala Lumpur International Fixed Gear Tournament. Digging this!

Fixed Fest is coming! I leave on Tuesday and cannot wait to be there. See ya at Velovriday Jakarta!

I hope everyone had a good 4th of July. While I recover from a horrible hangover, why don’t you guys check out some videos that have surfaced over the last 48 hours, beginning with this one from Tokyo Fixed.

Check out more below.

This year’s Bombing Down Broadway starts at 3pm, with a 1:30pm registration at 218th and Broadway. BE THERE! Flier is below… and above is last year’s video.

The video quality here might not be the best but I really love the concept behind this race. The 1896 Classic Marathon Race Revival revives the classic race that took place on the first Modern Olympic Games March 31st, 1896. It was for track bikes and fixed gears only and was thrown by 48:17 and Trimble Racing.

This weekend is the grand opening of the Cadence Store in Hermosa Beach, California. To ensure everyone gets out there safe and sound, GSC has organized a group ride tomorrow morning. Make sure you roll out! There will be a ton of prizes and events going down. Bummed I can’t be there for this! See the Cadence Dailies for more photos of the exclusive products that will be available.

While he’s no Lucas Brunelle, Crihs‘ race videos are always entertaining. I love the dark, grittiness of this 2011 Mash Vegas Drag Race footage.

Man, it’s crazy to think that Helltrack is in its fifth year. I remember when Tom Mosher first starting talking about putting the event together, years back. Here’s a nice recap from YNOT. Looks like a lot of fun!

Hell yeah! I can’t wait for Fixed Fest! Nice shirt dude!
