For 50 years, San Francisco based artist Michael Jang has been sitting on a hidden body of photographs taken when he was in his 20s. Although Jang built a career as a commercial and portrait photographer, many of his underground snapshots infiltrating and observing communities and subcultures has gotten little notice. Then in 2021, at the age of 70, Jang set out to share his work with the world.

Inspired by the legendary Le Mans, 24 Hours of LeMons is an endurance car race held on professional race tracks throughout the US. The only rule: entrants can’t exceed $500 budgets on their cars. It all started out in 2006 as a lighthearted joke between friends and a desire to democratize access to racing. Fast forward to today, and LeMons has become one of the most widely attended endurance races, claiming the Guinness World Record for “Most Participants in a Single Car Race.”
