Parking is almost all right in front of the main grandstand. Not sure where you are staying but leave early as traffic can be bad. I always liked to sit high up towards the first turn, but there are lots of great seats around the track, and usually not overly crowded with the exception of special races. Lots of good food on site, and all in all it is a great facility. Enjoy yourself.

I usually stay in Moreno Valley at the Holiday Inn Express on Sunnymead Blvd. near Perris Blvd. There is a Best Western and a few others in that same area also. Plenty of places to eat all around that area and along the way to the track. From the hotel you just have to go south on Perris Blvd about eight miles to the track. Best part is you avoid the freeways and all the traffic by taking the surface streets. You can Mapquest or Google Earth the area to check it out, but I have been staying in that area for several years now.

Yes they sell beer. Also on opening night they are celebrating their 20th year of racing and are having a promotional deal from 5 to 6 o'clock buy anything from the concession stand at regular price and get a second one for just 20 cents and that includes beer. There is traffic here 7 days a week at all hours anymore. Have a good time.

I've heard that parking is $8. Can any of you regulars confirm that?

Yes, there is a charge to park; a little surprising for Midwesterners. However, I was told that the track itself isn't collecting the money- it's the fairgrounds who's taking that profit. One other thing that I wasn't prepared for was their pitpass policy. You can NOT upgrade your GA ticket to a pitpass for the extra $5 or $10. Not sure why (they couldn't or wouldn't explain), but I was told I had to pay the full amount and was turned away.

One other thing. The first time I traveled out to Perris, I stayed in Moreno Valley. Not bad (slightly rough), but after venturing around the area, we liked Riverside way better. Been staying there near UC-Riverside ever since. A few more miles, but worth it IMO.

Finally, yes, there are traffic jams on the interstates 24/7. Have fun with that!
