There are pockets of racing around. California sounds like the best place, because you can run in baja like conditions on a smaller scale. MI, OH,PA have all had races for your class, as well. Racing in most locations is down, although new racers can pick things up.
I know what you mean about the video quality going to Youtube. There are things you can do to help that, though. Encoding to certain formats, uploading a high def version, etc. You look very comfortable in there, that much comes through!
