I fly at Rabbit DL all the time, and, besides being a great place to fly, it's much more forgiving if you have problems and it's a lot closer to you than Buttonwillow. Rabbit DL in Lucerne Valley is open to anyone, so you can try it.
Actually Rabbit DL is 60 miles further and 2 hours longer according to Google Maps but if you are flying something out of the AMA rules bracket then the extra 2 1/2 hours would be worth it.
