Welcome to the “Lou Fest” aka “Lou Night Race”
and thank you for checking out the website !
The “Lou Night Race” will be celebrating its 7th year!
The “Lou Night Race” is a very unique race as it is one of very few actual NIGHT RACES in the USA. When competing in the Lou Night Race, you use headlights on your bike and headlamps on your helmet – Yes, that’s right – NO other lights in the area ! Well… other than your competitors lights on your ass – What a cool sight it is !!!
This REAL night racing here at the Lou…
The “Lou Night Race” has gotten a pretty good rap of being one of the FUNEST races around ! And, we don’t just mean for the riders, as it is a pretty awesome sight for the spectators too ! Another thing that makes the “Lou Night Race” unique is that the course is lined with flashing barrier lights on either side of the race track with lots of white ribbon and chalk. This makes it very safe and user friendly in addition to a hell-a-fun to race on. Picture yourself standing on a hill watching a string of lights coming through the trees right at you !!! Just as you start to say O-SHIT, I better move my ass, they jag to the right and don’t even come near you, Psych !
The “Lou Night Race” is held in honor of Louie Casiano Jr. “Lou” or “Louie” as some of those the closest called him; went onto his next Great Adventure in the fall of 2004. He has been greatly missed ever since… Lou was of one of our first Mountain Bike Promoters in the San Joaquin Valley. Lou was a local bike shop manager, in addition to one hell of a fast BMX racer and a pretty damn good trials rider too. He was the first promoter to bring Ot Pi, BikeTrials World Champion (many times over) to the USA in the mid 80’s. Lou could climb a hill like no one that I knew. He was a wonderful father of two great boys who have grown into to fine young men. Tyler is 21 and Luis is 20. Lou was a great friend to all that knew him.
Lou's 2 son's Tyler and Luis
Lou had been my best friend since childhood, We do this event in honor of him and all that he did to promote mountain biking here in the San Joaquin Valley.
“Louie” always wanted everyone to have a good time racing at his events and most importantly, have them go away with a smile on their face.
Lou always liked riding in the cold weather, so come on out and have a great time with us. Enjoy a great course and help us show our respect and honor to a great guy and JP’s best friend “Louie”!
