RE: Southern California Tracks? (mainly Mission Viejo area)
The one Calvino linked to was in Orange County Florida. The closest track I know of is in [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/locatorview.cfm?infotype=venue&infotypeid=153]San Clemente[/link]. I have never been, but I understand it may be open to the public all the time, but not sure. Don't know if there are ever any organized races either.
