Hey guys,
For the next 2 or 3 winters I will be moving to the states to ride from roughly September - April, and I was hoping to get some insight on where the best place would be to train. I am currently deciding between Cali and Texas, seems like there is the most tracks in those areas and also the heat/humidity would be nice to train in. Can I get some advice from some people who have done this or actually live there?
Also, I am hoping to be able to park my camper and stay right at the track, do many facilities allow this for a price?
And one more thing, is there any insurance agencies that cover racing? I am currently covered through my work but when I am on a leave I will most likely lose my benefits and have to search this out else where. Any insight on these would be greatly appreciated!

They have two tracks and instruction/coaching too.
I say Texas over CA, but soon the Texicans will jump on here and sell it.
3 palms has hook ups as well....

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Also, give Rio Bravo a try. More elevation, a more interesting and classic layout, and the ghosts of motocrossers past lurking in the trees. There's also Highlands, Crossroads, Southwest and a few others out there within 30 miles of Houston. The Houston weather in winter is great - we think it's too damn cold to ride if it's under 40, and it's rarely like that.
If you like to do offroad stuff, though, Texas isn't the place for it. Very little public land and most of that is off-limits for motorcycles.
If you come down here, let me know and I'll come out and we can cut some laps together.
Having said that, my riding in other parts of the States is very limited. . . as in, i've never ridden anywhere other than Texas.
I believe I-35 (which is technically in Oklahoma) will allow camping, albeit they don't have hookups. Oak Hill's track is awesome. I've been there twice and it was immaculately groomed for riding both times. It's a deep loam and ruts up real nice.
And the weather has been very nice here.
I've lived and rode in all of the major markets (e.g. northeast, Florida, Texas, southeast, etc.) and would take CA over all of them.
When you get tired of Socal traffic, you can always try Arizona.
