In reply to Adrian_Thompson:
I read more and more about long days for three runs at autocrosses. NEPE opens registration around 8:30, closes around 9:30, drivers meeting @ 9:45, first car off at 10. Done around 3:30 after 6 or 7 runs. On the road by 4.
Everyone is very friendly and laid back

Sorry for double post. Damn iPhone
I just got back from Vegas and man am I jealous looking at all the 10-15 year old cars with not a spot of rust on them!

You don't have to pay it but once you put the car back on the road you will owe full registration price for every year your car wasn't registered if you opt for not paying. Jobs in CA pay more to offset the mortgage / rent deal. Rent is nowhere near what you'd pay in NYC, DC, or Boston. I was a rental property manager for almost 11 years so I know. There are many nice neighborhoods where you don't pay outlandish rents. As I said, our mortgage is relatively modest. Having said that, I'm currently rehabbing a one-bedroom condo in West Hollywood for rental purposes. The rent will be stupid.
If you can get everybody on the board to move to California and get them to pay $25 a year for each non-running car they owned, California wouldn't have a deficit any more. 
Comparing rents to NYC, DC and Boston is kind of like saying that you should buy a Maserati because they really aren't as expensive as Ferraris and Lamborghinis when in reality, more people drive Chevys and most parts of the country are cheaper than NYC, DC and Boston. The thing is I want a HOUSE with a GARAGE and a BIG BACKYARD for my dogs and you can't find that in Southern California for less than $2,000 a month. I remember telling a recruiter the same thing about DC when she was wanting to know why I wouldn't relocate. You can actually get a reasonable house in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area for less that $60,000 if you want to chase foreclosures and do some paint and hammer work and at least in my field, the salaries here aren't really that much less than in California. So housing is a whole lot less, gas is cheaper, and state taxes here are 100% cheaper leaving you with more cash at the end of the month to spend on your race car.
As for race tracks, we have three in the Metroplex, Eagle Canyon, Texas Motorsports Ranch and the road course at Texas Motor Speedway. And if you haven't heard yet, Formula One is right down the road in Austin now instead of in Long Beach. 
Yeah. I used to live in California, but I got out as soon as I could.

IIRC, thats not too far from my family's place in Spring Hill. I'm trying to talk my Dad into letting me move there to fix up and take care of the place.

My wife lived down there for a while and the two of spent 4-6 weeks there after I immigrated to the US.
You can get a lot of rust free cars there, true, but the interiors will be burnt to a crisp. I also found it really hard to source a GRM-type vehicle down there; much like up here, you're mainly talking American Iron at the cheaper end.
