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.
Yahoo.

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.
