I'm going to Oahu with some of my friends. We're staying at some dorms, and found a track that's about a mile away. I'm not sure how far away from you that is, but from their site, it looks like a pretty decent track. We're going to email them sometime before we leave as to the track conditions to see which tires to bring.

I looked in one of the mags before I went on my trip a couple of years ago, found the address, then couldn't find the place. I spent like an hour looking and ended up going to Chili's for lunch!

I went to Hawaii earlier this year. ASI isn't open there anymore. The number doesn't work either. I ended up making friends with his neighbore, and met him. That place is on Kaui. You'll love it there even if you don't go to a HS.

I don't remember seeing any hobby shops when I was in Oahu. The night life in Honolulu was pretty good too (find some locals to go out with). I highly recommend people watching outside of Denny's at like 3am. Lots of hookers and some real pimps...

If you're going to be in LA, which part of LA. It's pretty big.

Down in the San Fernando Valley, we have Hot Rod Hobbies in Valencia(not really in the valley, about 30 minute drive) and hobby people in camarillo. There's also SoCal Raceway in Long Beach.
