I hear all the time that forum members have been taking their cars to a track. Does anyone know a place in the LA area that allows this?

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
Not sure what their rules are exactly for personal road cars, but California Speedway in Fontana is nice.
Don't bother with their oval, go for the sports car track in the infield!

Oh yeah, its a bit far but if you can make it to Monterey, go to Laguna Seca - arguably the best track in North America. Again, I'm not too familiar with their rules as I'm in NY and have only been to them for Skip Barber, but I'm sure you can go. Monterey is also great in August when they have the Pebble Beach Concours (if you're into classic cars) and golf of course.

Can't beat a racing school or an organized event, but for an easy or aggressive drive, try out the malibu canyons. Just watch out for the cops as I hear they're cracking down.
