very bad 30 min ago. I think there is still a lot of people that didn't make to the track yet.

About 5 minutes going in at 930. Traffic leaving sucked but that is to be expected since there is one 2 lane road out of the place. It took me about 25 minutes to get out of the track itself. Once out, it was smooth sailing. I have to give credit to the guys directing traffic, they were doing a good job.

I read the original message as, “I didn’t go to the race, but I’m bored so I thought I’d ask about the traffic.”

Wasn’t bad in or out considering its a national event and I showed up late being a puss by listening to people on here talk about bad traffic. Foolish of me not to go when I woke up but glad I went. They have it figured out best they can with limited highways. Good on you PALA!

Rode my bicycle from the Casino RV park to the track at 8:30 and there was virtually no traffic.

How come so many complaints on Pala traffic, when most Nationals have 2 lane roads in/out. All you have to do is show up a little early and leave a little late. Problem solved

I was unable to make Pala and Glen Helen. Im camping with family. I did watch 5 minutes on twitch for free and saw very few fans so I'm thinking Glen Helen charity event was a success.

Guyb,
It was great to see you and chat for a bit, Racing was awesome, seeing old friends was awesome, no traffic to speak of going in at 9am and not bad at all leaving after the last 450 race.

I got there at 9AM and had to wait for less time to park than on a ride day. Left right after the 2nd 450 moto and was out of there in 10 minutes. No traffic from there. (I drove over the pass into Temecula though - not down 76.)

I didn’t see anyone really complaining about it this year, but it sort of seems as if the people complaining about the traffic in previous years have never been to any other major event in their lives, or something.

It all stems from the year that traffic was a disaster by any standard. That year our group was over an hour to get in and we went pretty early. I know people who just gave up and turned around. That being said, this year was fine, even good. Our only gripes and they are silly were the announcer who thought that yelling into the mic was the way to go and, some really long lines for food. I may have missed others but from what I saw, there were just a couple of food trucks. All in all, it was a great day and the track did a great job.

Oh ya, traffic coming in wasn’t bad, but took me at least an hour to get out

We had absolutely no issue trying to get out shortly after the races were over. I hope they can get a larger turn out next year.

I drove right in around 7:15 and out when there was around 5 minutes left on last moto. No problem with the traffic either way and it was great day of racing overall.

I said last week that if the traffic going in and out of Pala was like an hour or two in and out....there was no way I'd go , and I'd go riding instead. But it doesn't sound like it was that bad at all. Hell , at Washougal , I try and roll in about 8-8:30 am and stay until about 7pm , and don't deal with the traffic. If you show up at 10am and try to leave at 4pm.....you will lose 4 hours of your life sitting there in traffic. I would have gone to Pala in a heart beat.

The 2010 Pala National took 3.5 hours to go the last 2 miles to the track at 9:30am, then if you per-purchased reserved VIP parking you where told it was full with no refunds and also had to pay for the standard parking far from the track. That was the issue but it sounds like they have it figured out now.
