Title: I'm sure you all heard CRG burned down... Post by: duckwrench13 on June 25, 2008, 07:41:15 AM Well, it's just another sign that cars are truly evil [evil]... The cause of the Watsonville fire, that destroyed CRG... hold on to yer socks kids.... fire investigators determined it was started by car exhaust. >:( Just saw it on the news.
Damn. [bang] [bang] Title: Re: I'm sure you all heard CRG burned down... Post by: hypurone on June 25, 2008, 08:07:44 AM Yeah, there's a thread goin on here:

Post by: MendoDave on June 25, 2008, 10:26:57 AM I'm glad I have some CRG stuff for now. I hope they can rebuild. We have fires all around up here too. Lots of smoke & stuff.

[laugh] [laugh] We could ride from fire to fire, and we could all bring marshmallows and hot dogs. ;D I was going to go up to Wages creek to check out the fire the other day (Just a few miles from my house) but I saw in my minds eye that the fire crews would rather not have a bunch of spectators, so I pushed the bike back in the garage. However, a Nor Cal ride sounds like a thing to do. I'm doing some riding at T Hill next Monday & Tuesday, and I think that's in Nor Cal, so count me in on those days at least.

Post by: eviltwin on June 25, 2008, 11:26:11 AM I just got back from a trip to Redding, and it was solid smoke on I-5 all the way back to Fairfield. I held a marshmallow out on a stick on the highway hoping to get some smoores action, but it just didn't happen. I just got bug splats and a back ache from the drive. Not too much fun IMO. [laugh]

When I was just up at T-Hill with Maria, for the Z2 Women's VIP day, the track was surrounded by fires. There was a big one just over the ridge to the north, and another over the ridge to the south. The whole sky glowed orange all night, and the next day it was a smoky sunrise, and the lovely campfire smell all day. ;D They were actually concerned about having to shut down and evac the facility if needed.
