Curious, When you say "fixed gear track bike", are you saying no hand brakes?
As you know from experience stp is a zoo, especially 2 day. Even if your son is experienced track rider, riding amongst 3000 out of 10000 riders at any given time w/o hand brakes, if that's the case, is a move that could be pretty dangerous.
Over 20 STP's since 1988 I've seen a lot of crazy stuff, but I've seen 3 fixed gear associated crashes, that one of them ended in serious injury for 2 folks.
Whatever the case, hopefully you all will have a safe & uneventful ride.
