USA combined to put on the ‘Fastest Street Race in America’ directly on the ‘Boulevard’ section of the city, just outside the Los Angeles area. Over 120 racers from all across the country contested seven race groups, each providing its own bit of drama and excitement to keep the fans egger for more on the fence line. The tight seven-tenth mile course gave the racers a challenging course to tackle, with the hot weather also throwing another obstacle. The big winners of the weekend, and fan favorites were the headline categories, won by Fritz Leesmann and Matt Johnson, while Ethan Wilson and Palmdale driver Brendan Baker provided the fans with memorable moments from this year’s event.
