The dirt area is El Mirage. It is a dry lake located in the Apple Valley area that is used for a lot of movie and ad gmidshots.

It is a BLM managed OHV area. There are a number of local midget racers that use the area in addition to wind surfing, and motorcycle races.

The hard surface area is either the Glen Helen Raceway east of Riverside or the former George AFB that is in Apple Valley area near El Mirage. CHP uses the Glen Helen Speedway for high-speed driver training.

I am leaning towards the former AFB due to the buildings.
