California Speedway has a 1/4 mile track every once in a while.
http://www.californiaspeedway.com/track/CaliforniaDragway.jsp

LACR is open every Wed and Fri depending on weather.
http://www.lacr.net

I've been to both and think that you get more outta your money if you travel to LACR. I get more runs in out there. They don't count how many times you have run and tell you that you have to wait for people who haven't run as many times.

For the tune, you'll want to check out Powertrain Dynamics in Huntington Beach. http://www.powertraindynamics.com/

For the bodywork you'll want to check out Santini Paint and Body in Westminster. They did my paint work. They price was very reasonable and a large portion of their work is collision related.

Use the link in my signature to see pics of my paint.

I'm under the impression that they all will take your money, unless you know a shop that works for free?

I've never been "oversold" or anything like that and I've had nothing but positive experiences while at Steve's shop.

put it this way. friend was charged $200 bucks and didn't tune the car because of turbo issues. he had spent about $500 on prior tune.
