    I'm thinking 95 on the way down (Sunday) and then the western route home (midweek)

    On sunday, depending on when you leave Boston, you may hit traffic in DC area late PM.

    Are you traveling home overnight??

    If so, you will hit NO traffic on 95, save any construction. Its overnight, you wont get to NY until like 1-2 am best case scenario.

    I'm with Manny. I don't do the Pa gig either. It's just too damn far out of the way. There's never any traffic 'cause we go down on a Sunday morning and leave the track after 6:00pm on the weekday.

    Don't think I'll be able to do the trip home in it's entirety after the trackday... gonna pack up and start driving North until I run out of steam, crash (edit: poor choice of words...), get up at 5:00 or so and drive the remainder.

    Do you have the meth dealers lined up or do you just take your chances at the truckstops?

    I've found that the best route is a direct flight from Boston to Raleigh/Durham...then a short drive to the track.
