Taking a train to an Angel game an in the back lot of a building I saw a camouflage C8 in Mission Viejo, Orange County in Southern California. There was a road course/track nearby. It came up unexpectedly so I couldn’t get a picture.

No Norty. I want to see it first and do a “butt test” to see if I fit in it. Also, no stick-no buy

Where is there a road course/track near Mission Viejo? I’ve lived here almost 10 years and am unaware of any tracks.

SoCalC7-I just traced the rail lines in Orange County attempting to identify the area I saw the C8. I could not identify any road course from Google Earth so I am mistaken regarding the track. I was on a moving train suffering from "whiplash" turning to see the car and what looked like a track of some kind was not there. It was so fast I couldn't get a photo.
