The Industry Hub has always been Southern California
Is that still the case?
Where would you say is second if there is a second, or is it just going to be all spread out with many getting on board with the California exodus?
Are there certain cities/areas that more than one place has moved to?

I’m not aware of any well known moto related companies that have relocated outside California, but that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened.

I think it would be cool if a bunch of them moved to the same place and started a new moto hub
Cali moto is going to be killed off by the water shortage faster than anything else. Can't have millions of people living in the Desert and expect there to be endless amounts of water for everyone.
Once all the tracks can no longer afford to just dump water into the dirt I expect the Cali moto scene to take a big hit.
Sorry to be doom and gloom but the writing is on the wall.
I hope everyone leaves and STFO my lawn.... and take your shitty prius with you
You can have a lot of fun, and you can be successful, and you gotta follow your own path so don't let me or anyone sway you.
But one thing I will say, especially in motorsport or an industry you're passionate about, it can disrupt your love of the hobby/ sport and it is quite easy to be taken advantage of, over worked and under paid, as people know your passion for the vehicles and expect you to do more than your share, just "doing it for the love", if you will.
The flip side is if you find the right spot for you, nothing else will rival the fun you can have being a true part of it and being fully immersed in what you like most, it can be awesome.
Go for it by all means but be smarter than I and many friends and acquaintances were when I / we were younger, as almost everyone I know has left the motorsport industry over the years and usually lost it as a hobby too. My experience comes from racecars, so it is different, but similar, and I do not want to put you off but I do want to put it out as an honest cautionary tale.
Just be smart, stay sharp, and don't let yourself get hustled, it is a job like any other.
Pit Row
As far as water...I believe most tracks have welling rights and are not on public water service.
Too many goons moving here creating a housing shortage has more to do with it. Tracks take up a lot of real estate, if it’s in the wrong place, it’s marked for death.
And btw, yeah we have a huge homeless problem, but most of these people came from other states and are now trying to collect from our idiotic nanny state.
I love how the op says that “I wish they would all move and start a new moto hub”. 😂.
That just tells me that he hates where he lives.
“Ma!, more meatloaf! “.
You think magically those wells are just gonna have endless water when the rest of the West is going dry at an alarming rate?
You think the powers that be in Cali are gonna be cool with dirt bikers, that they already hate, just continuing to throw water in the dirt when the entire state is on the brink of a crisis?
Water is the future boys, the writing is on the wall. I give it 10 years or less until there is a HUGE exodus from the entire SW due to lack of water to sustain the population.
Hopefully there is a huge exodus, though. I bet a lot of those people will move to places like, oh idk, like Idaho.
