For California Speedway, it can be 1-1.5 hours. Less of course
if you leave before the race ends. I now take the metrolink
train, which has a station in the parking lot of the speedway.
That only takes a 20-40 minute wait to fill the train, but it
is *much* less fatiguing, since you are not fighting traffic,
just sitting back in an airconditioned train coach.
