If you want to race, race. Enter the C class for whatever size bike you have and see what happens.
Most C class riders arent all that good, so you should at least be able to hold your own if you have been riding a while.
A friend of mine has been riding for 3 years and he can routinely get top 10s in 125 C.

Wherever you are comfortable riding.

That I cannot help you with. If you wanted to know where to race in Wisconsin I could help, but Im not in Cali.
I would pick a track that has smaller jumps at first. Do big jumps is easy when you are by yourself, but when there are 20-30 other bikes all doing it at the same time, it gets a little crazy.
I would start by going to the AMA's website and searching for when there are races in your area. Then I would just go there and watch a race and see how big the jumps are and how good the riders are. Then I would go there and practice and ride with riders who are in the class you plan to enter. If you can hang with them in practice, you should be OK.
