It is part of my job to travel in the L.A. Megalopolis, been doing it for 25 years now. I can give help to those who get stuck in the traffic. Of course rush hour will be the pits but there are some things that can help you get through.
Call me when you get stuck and I’ll guide you in. Work 562-940-2350 Home 714-8478002 Cell 323-351-4686 Good Luck |

Thanks Joe

Have lots of CDs and pull off to cool off. Also for anyone going to this event My shop will be open 24hrs for anyone needing repairs even after the day on track at Willow. I am sure your 914 is in top shape but you never know call anytime I am about 50 mins from the Hotel but I have a trailer. Call 818 266 7774 |

Ben is my co-pilot thus we can use the carpool lane so that "should" help a little.

During the day the hours of 10am - 2pm are the only semi safe times to drive the freeways in So Cal. I also never take the 5 south through LA. Coming from Northern Cal I always take 405 south instead.

actually, would the 405 be a better bet?
Also, would maybe taking the 210 all the way to the 57 be better. I know the 57 is usually pretty free when I hit it during rish hour, and then backtrack to irvine? A backtrack, yes, but carpool the 210 and yea... |
