SoCal - Places to race a Nacra 5.2

I'm looking at buying a very nice Nacra 5.2 from a guy but I am worried I'll never get to race it.

What races are available in the SoCal area for this type of boat? I would like a H18, but they are harder to come by. Especially at this price!

Is the hobie scene the only cat racing scene? What are my options? Also, I know newport has weekly summer races, am I allowed so sail in those?
Where in SoCal are you I have a Hobie 18 I may want to sell.

You can give me a call 805-484-9485

I live in Costa Mesa. I'll be storing it and launching it out of Long Beach.
If you don't mind making the drive, Big Bear does a monthly regatta.

Do you have more info on the monthly regattas in Big Bear?
I am aware of a yearly Hobie only race but wasn't aware of a monthly race.

Please let me know, Thanks
