Haha I've raced at Santa Rosa. Nice track...

Bakersfield is the closest. There is a bunch of tracks down in L.A. that aren't much further.

There are tracks at Bakersfield, real pain to get to from SB, in L.A. there is Irwindale 1/8 mile, Pomona Raceway at the fairgrounds, and there is The dragstrip at California Raceway.

i guess santa rosa is popular... haha. but has anyone been to Buttonwillow Raceway Park?

im thinking about going to Pomona Raceway or Famoso Speedway. probably pomona, looks more legit.

I have seen drags at Famoso, nice track. Pomona does not hold as many events, I know there is alot of racing during the Super Chevy Show and any GM powered car can enter that. My buddy races Buttonwillow and Willow Springs alot, and I have road raced at California Speedway, that is alot of fun especially when the race part of the large oval.

If you want to get 20+ runs in for $105, get in on the private event at Famoso on Nov 22nd..It's a great way for you to get in a lot of runs instead of the typical 2-3 you usually get

really? guess i might have to check out Famoso then... do you happen to know how much it is? but yea it looks like there is some circuit track thats east of Famoso? might check that out also....

thats a pretty good deal. i dont know if i wanna do 20+ runs. wont have any tires left after that. haha but i might consider it... be some good practice? maybe if some one else wants to go we can split it?

Yeah right, There is Irwindale which is 1/8th track and California Speedway which is a Trashy Track that only opens maybe 1 time a month. Pomona does not hold street legals and have not for over like 8 years.

Fermoso I hear is a really great track. I know a lot of people that go up there. There is a lot of prep that goes into it.

famoso is a great track prepping is great... and if someone brakes they usually clear it up fast... from sb you would take 101 north to 46? east... there is a test and tune night coming up nov 8-9 and i believe they have it scheduled as west coast shootout north vs. south... it's 15 dollars to spectate and an extra five to race i believe... either way twenty bucks

Famoso's event on Nov 8-9th is for imports only. No domestics allowed. I already tried.

There are only four tracks left in SoCal that let us race.

http://www.californiaspeedway.com/ 1/4 mile in Fontana
http://www.famosoraceway.com/ 1/4 mile just north of Bakersfield
http://www.irwindaleraceway.com/ 1/8 mile in Irwindale
http://www.baronadragway.com/ 1/8 mile in Lakeside

I heard there are some parking lot races at Qualcom Stadium in San Diego, too?
