Race track in Socal
So sorry for such a noob question, but I am new to this country.
I bought 06 Track 350Z, I really want to go really fast and dont want anymore speeding ticket.
So is there any local race track, that I can go ? How much is it ?
Some say I should try Irwindale speedway, but I dont know the price.

You are lucky to live fairly close to some world class tracks. Cal Speedway, Willow Springs, Streets of Willow, and many others, are within a couple hours drive. And of course, you have Laguna Seca up north a bit.
I agree..a weekend track day is much more cost effective, then excessive speeding/reckless driving tickets, and all that entails.

...and Infineon, PIR (Phoenix), Firebird, and Holtville (closed for now).
And for those who've never heard of Holtville:

Clangers! I actually rented the place for $100 - all day - back in 2002 to do some shock testing. Chained a railroad tie to the back of the truck and dragged it around the course to knock the weeds down before we started testing.

At irwindale its about 20 bucks and you can do as many runs as you can check it out they do it every thursday, and youll see some pretty cool cars there too the only bad part is that it is only 1/8 mile

big willow and button are decent and i hear good things of thunderhill, sear point but havent driven them as of yet.
world class tracks??? maybe laguna seca but streets of willow(boring and slow) and cal speedway (roval with its big go-kart infield is anything but world class unless your into big grandstand and garages). i wont even mention the semi circle track irwindale. most cali tracks are over-rate with the exception of the northern ones.

1) Big Willow: The oldest purpose built track around. Let's see who lifts first going in to Turn 8 and Turn 9 will still punk the best of them if they don't bring their A game.
2) "Maybe Laguna Seca"? What do you mean "Maybe?" That is the equivilant to saying "Jesus was in it for the Chicks!"....It just ain't right.
3) The Streets of Willow is a great course. Yes, a little slower than most, but not that much, and but it offers every single type of turn you can have. It has elevation changes, blind entries and a host of places that can put you on your roof if you are not careful. Still a great technical track.
4) California Speedway combines high speeds, a host of turns where if you are not smooth, you are dropped by full seconds at a time.
5) Irwindale...well, it's not a road course. Roundie, rounds don't count.
6) Thunderhill is a great track and requires patience at speed.
7) Buttonwillow. Still one of the most fun technical courses around and can be set up a number of ways to mess with drivers.
8) Sears Point. To say I hear good things about this track to like saying I hear the Bugatti Veron is sort of fast.
