You are right about that, Stockton is horrible. Hopefully someone in the area can recommend a nice safe place.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I haven't personally stayed in Stockton, but the few times I've been there for a Supermoto or bike course at the Little 99 Raceway make me think that you'd be running a pretty high chance of having something broken into or walking away if you left it parked too long. If you don't mind the drive, Brentwood, CA to the west is a better option (although the back roads and little bridges that get to Discovery Bay can be tight for a trailer). If you can do it and don't mind running up the Altamont Pass, where I am in Livermore CA is also more secure. Either way, you are adding 45-ish minutes to your commute.

A wallet on the ground in Oakland won't be yours for long.
"Oakland had the highest total crime rate of any California city with 20,000 or more people, with 8,587 total crimes per 100,000 residents."
"Stockton is one of the most dangerous cities in California. The city experiences crime twice as often as the national average and violent crimes nearly four times more than the national average. There's also high levels of gang activity, high poverty rates, and high unemployment rates in the city"

Thanks for the input, folks. Looks like it's even more grim than when I left the Bay Area in 2004. I couldn't stand it then, with the senseless vandalism, theft, and rude, inconsiderate a-holes all around me. Guess the best option is to carry, and avoid the area altogether, except the track.

I recognized your homophobic humor but decided to supplant it with useful info. San Francisco was a gay mecca in the 70s and 80s but since then other cities have been more accepting of the gay community (including Oakland). Also, many people were priced out of SF and moved into Oakland. "Oakland, which is already one of the nation's most integrated cities, has quietly become home to more lesbian couples per capita than any other big city in the nation, and ranks third for gay and lesbian households combined, behind San Francisco and Seattle, according to census data."
