Try a Google search (sorry to sound so dull with that response lol). California must have quite a few places you can check out and apply to get some hands on experience. Your best bet would be to go to Google, type in something like: Racing Schools in Santa Rose, CA.
See what pops up and take it from there. Unfortunately I don't live near you or know anyone that does that could help you, but that's the best I can offer you. Hope it helps you somewhat.
If you're lucky, someone in here should know or can point you in the right direction.
