Two of the best I know of are the Shasta Lemurian (shastalemurian.org) and Downieville Classic (downievilleclassic.com).

this series looks cool and is close to where i live. have you raced in this before ? i am interested in the XC races but i dont see any distances for the races. do you happend to know how far they are and how techincal they are ? also, looks like the events have good turn out.
Fontana seems to be very popular with the locals and gets a lot of press.
Your best bet for details on the XC would be to contact Donny Jackson at the phone number or e-mail on the contact page. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer your questions and help a new person get involved.

The Southridge series is fun and local to you and you need not purchase a license, just show up, pay the fees and race.
A few other options to race with in a couple hours drive
Racers and Chasers - Vail Lake, CA
StumpGrinderDirtClub Races are on private land and no need to be a member to race. They have a race coming up this weekend as well, info on that race here - Holiday Bash
A new promotional company that will also be holding DH and Super-D races out at Vail Lake is Progressive Cycle Association They just held their first races a few weeks ago and as soon as we get a good storm or three thy will build up the area and hold more races.
Also, for local info you may want to head on over to S.T.R. as that is a locals site. There are a couple others as well but I do not recall their url's

One lap is like 6.9 miles.
beginners do 1 lap.
Sport and single speed do 2 laps.
expert and pro do 3 laps.
They also do Super D which I did after the XC race. Pretty fun, I recommend it. 15 minutes of all out fun. If you ever want to come out pm me I would be more than happy to show you the course. So you can train on it before the race.

What exactly is Super D ? Is that like slalom or just downhill ?

Theres was held as a time trial. But it's basically similar to XC just shorter and less climbing.
XC usually favors the climbers while Super D favors the rest.
