Cool race, but DON"T fly into LAX!!! I did, it took 3 hrs. to go 75 miles, I was a nervous wreck & missed most of opening nite
Use Ontario, Ca. instead

Agree 100%. Ontario works best by far. 3 hours is moving along pretty good for rush hour from LAX! Even Orange County airport is better than LAX as you head East over I-5 shortly and there are often good prices because of the Disneyland travelers. Ontario by far easiest.

[Scott Daloisio]

Ontario is about 35-miles closer to the track than either LAX or John Wayne Airport in Orange County and even on a heavy traffic day, is only about 35 minutes away

I cheated, got on carpool lane when traffic came to a dead halt. Later found out it was a $400 fine.... THANK YOU ROAD GODS!
