Description of facility: Milestone is a 55-acre park on flat ground. The layouts are on the jumpy side, but it is easy to find a track for riders of any skill level.
Dirt Rider says: "This is a favorite for a quick hit near the L.A. metro area. Any time around Outdoor National season, Wednesday is the day to hit it for pro sighting when Milestone combines two of their tracks, rips them deep and lets only pros and intermediate riders out. And there is still another track for big bikes to ride!" --Jimmy Lewis

Description of facility: Perris Raceway is the oldest motorcycle track in operation in California.
Dirt Rider says: "The area has some elevation change, and the dirt generally offers excellent traction. The layout is changed fairly often, and the track caters to pros without being too extreme for the average rider. Since the track faces dust restrictions, count on a course that is always watered. Lots of big-name pros ride here for practice in the morning sessions. This facility is also the home of Sbastien Tortelli's Champ Factory motocross school." --Karel Kramer
