Fire and evacuation California living

We had a little excitment last night. I was working in the garage, when I heard the helicopters, and sirens. I stepped out to here the police helicopter telling us to grab a few valuebles, and evacuate. I grabbed the dirtbike, the computer, and our personal files. I eventualy went back for the wife. :)
We went to a friends house, and watched the action unfold on TV. From his rooftop, we also watched the aireal show of tanker planes, helicopters (news, fire dept. and police) over our still standing house. "S", "K" and I were able to go back after an hour. "A" was with friends.
In a flash you have to decide what is important, and what you really need. We grabbed a change of clothes, and the dog. I do have some pictures to share of what we saw, and what us, and the nieghbor grabbed.

We pulled back in after the evacuation, the nieghbor had pulled the BMW in front of our driveway, but you can see what I grabbed














Smoke still visible when we returned

I went out to Barona with my 13yr old daughter who has never raced. It was a Fathers day race, and they were doing a special Fathers day relay race where you had to share a bike.

She didn't want to go out and ride in the practice sessions for the regular racers, it was a bit intimedating. So after all the races were done, they allowed the father and son/daughter teams to get a few laps in on the bike that they are not used to. she did 2 laps of practice, and I did one on her cr80.They sent the 65cc class out to do their 4 laps. The fathers did the first lap, and handed the bike off to the jr. rider. it was a hoot watching the dads on the 65cc. some of them were clearing the finish line table top, and a double.
Then it was time for the 80-85cc class I did the 1st and 3rd laps without incident. she stalled it once, and we had a great time. The will give plaques to everyone who participated.

I also competed in the 40+ beginner class and got 1st out of 4.
1st moto:I stalled at the gate and couldn't get it started until my group was in the second turn , and finished 2nd.
2nd moto: better start, and finished 1st.

What a great fathers day I was able to bond with my daughters, and they had a good day. My oldest was able to overcome her fears of the track, and traffic.
