It’s hard to refer to anything over 80 as “refreshing,” but when it comes to late August weather in the Inland Valley, 86 is about as comfortable as you could ask for.
Don’t forget: It was well over 100 for this race two years ago, so the idea of not melting while walking through the garage area in long pants is a bonus.
It’s still amazing to drive in Los Angeles rush-hour traffic and wonder how anybody ever gets home. The ride from LAX to Ontario last night took 2 1/2 hours. Now, Southland locals might laugh at the route I took — 105 to 605 to 60 to 57 to 10 — but I thought I might miss some of the worst of it. But there were only a couple of miles where we got anywhere close to the speed limit before it packed back in again.
It reminded me of watching a race at Bristol in super-slow motion.

Last year it was 118. I just got back from the track and it was 103. The humidity was 80%. Mark I would have taken the 105 to 605 to 60 to 15 then back track a few miles depending on where you are staying. Anyways hope you have a good time.
If you get a chance. Go eat the ribs at Lucilles. Lucilles is on the west side of the 15 fwy in Victoria Gardens almost next to Bass Pro Shops.

That is as good a route as any man!! May I suggest that you try to fly into Ontario instead of LAX? Then you’re almost there and you get to miss a TON of traffic!
It isn’t the heat here today that’s horrible it is the unusual humidity!! I just got back from the car wash and I feel like I walked through the thing! I just cranked up the A/C here at the house (there goes the electric bill). Have a fun time out here in CA man!
