Just moved to San Diego area.. need acquaintances/friends, suggestions

Hi guys
Finally made the move from cold South Dakota to San Diego!
I don't know a soul here so looking to meet people in the area
are there 1/4 mi tracks around here? Want to take my car to see what it does at near sea level elevation
Could use some tips on where to take my car for a tune up and general maintenance

Welcome to SD! Sadly there are no 1/4 mile tracks in the area. I believe the closest 1/4 mile track is up in the LA area. The closest thing we have is an 1/8 mile drag that happens in the parking lot of Qualcomm stadium. It's far from being a dedicated drag strip, but it can be fun. They usually take place on Friday nights. If you're interested check out www.racelegal.com.

As far as maintenance goes, I've only dealt with ACG but have been extremely happy with their service.

Hope that helps some!

-Joe

Strange that no 1/4mi track in Diego but I do live in Oceanside so it's not that far of a drive to La.
