Blitzsti is right.....there is no real race shops here in San Diego that is worth going to at the moment. I believe I-Speed do have a AWD Dyno, they are located in Vista, CA (not that far out of San Diego). As for a race track there no 1/4 or a road coarse. There is a 1/8th track at Barona and at the Qualcomm statium on Friday (it doesn't happen all the time). You can try Wine tasting up in Temcula (about 45 mins north of San Diego).

As for tracks.. There is California Speedway and Buttonwillow (2hrs north of Torrance) if i'm not mistaken.. However since you guys are going to be in SD, that would be a bit of a drive...

Yup Laguna Seca is a nice track.. But driving 7hrs up to Norcal from SD is a bit of a stretch isn't it?
