Question Track near Lompoc,CA

I need help finding a 1/4 mile drag strip near Lompoc, CA. I have a brother and sister inlaw that live there. I am trying to talk my husband into going for a visit and I know I will have better luck if he can bring our Trans Am and spend one day racing. My family doesn't know anything about racing so they are no help. My brother actually told me he didn't think there were any race tracks down there because the land was too expensive. Any help would be appreciated.

The only race tracks near there are Famoso in Bakersfield (about 3 hours away) and Infenion Rcaeway up in Sonoma (about 3 hours away).
