For those who made the trip from NJ and PA, how was the traffic both up and back?

I went up early Friday morning from just north of Philly. I avoided 95N and it took my about 6.5 hours to get there, including stops.

Coming home, I left the track at 1:45 pm and got home 8 hours later because of frequent traffic jams in Massachusetts and Connecticut on 495, 90 and I-84.

My route home was 125 to 495 to 90 to 84 to 684 to the Sawmill River Parkway to 287, across the Tappan Zee, to the Garden State Parkway to the NJ Turnpike to the PA Turnpike.

I went up the same way except I took 684 the whole way and did not take the Sawmill River Parkway.

BTW, is it true that Massachusetts is the Native American word for "Traffic Jam," and that Connecticut means "He who drives under the speed limit in the left lane?"

In light night time traffic mid week going up ,made the trip in 6 1/2 using TappanZee -684.
It was 3:00pm till I packed up and left ,so I hit the heavy traffic at 495-290 and again on 90 to 84. from there it was pretty good ,but 684 was backed way up that late in the day, so it was 84 all the way to 87. ...Typical Sunday slowdowns on 87 to 287 but traffic moved fairly good, ...I made it home in 7 1/2 hours includind stops, so not too bad.

Remember...casual spectators are there to be entertained, not follow racing. They like things that are fast, loud and spew flames.

100 percent right Jim.

My point was if there was bad weather on sat or sun, how could they get everything in.
Then i noticed the bikes only had a handful, so i should look to see how many bikes
they had first before speaking my peace.
