Yup, exactly what I meant about nearby homeowners.
Laguna Seca was initially built in the middle of nowhere (on Fort Ord/Laguna Seca Ranch), but nowadays there are multimillion dollar homes in the area and they require a 92db sound limit. Certain race days are given exception to this rule as they bring a lot of money into the town, but that doesn't happen often.
Basically for us there are 3 in NorCal (Mazda Raceway, Infineon, Thunderhill), and 4 in SoCal (Auto Club, Buttonwillow, Chuckwalla, and Willow Springs). Technically there are 5 in SoCal but Thermal is a members only track. If Nevada isn't too far for you there are 3 tracks as well (Spring Mountain, Las Vegas Intl, Reno-Fernley). You can also do Utah, Arizona, etc...
I want this one, but since I haven't heard anything in 2 years I doubt it's happening:
