“This is our seventh year of doing this race and I still LOVE this event for so many reasons – It’s the original 24 hour minibike race on the west coast and it continues to grow and become more refined after years of trying a variety of things that work for such an event. Anyone can put on a race, but experience is definitely important to make sure fair-minded racers have a great time. This year is so special with all of the elements coming together – tremendous race teams, the entertainment — UCLA’s Kyodo Taiko, rock band: Joyous Wolf and latin jazz band El Dorado Collective, DJ (Bacan) who will be playing the entire race, and of course the charities this event and the passionate teams. I’m so happy and excited for this 24 hour.” – Young Lee, M1GP
Headlining Joyous Wolf – “One of the most exciting new rock Bands to appear on the rock scene in years. With soulful blues and a hard edge rock sound Joyous Wolf is getting attention from record labels as far away as Paris, France. Joyous Wolf is proud to play and support this very worthy event.”
