Thanks for the welcome,
San Diego's auto enthusiast scene was generally really great! There was a place for everyone. I think the best thing about SD was the weather was very condusive to holding events. One weekend, I went to a car show on Friday night, autox'ed on Saturday, and tracked on Sunday (and then surfed monday morning). Right before I moved back, this old track started opening up again-and not to many people knew about it. For 40 bucks you could get in as many laps as you wanted. I would put over 120 miles of track miles on in one day. (Thats definetely what I miss the most-Holtville Track).
But, I'm glad to be back in Upstate. I'm closer to my family, and I love my job. So I'm a happy guy either way.
Not to be overlooked, San Diego had its cons. Street Racing was getting out of control, and theft was way out of control-my car was stolen...twice.

Hope to see all of you around soon!
