While gate open at 9 get there early so you have time to unload and meet the guys before racing which begin shortly after 9 am for time trials. Not 12 as you stated. Eliminations will begin in the 12 pm range.
Here are two alternates from etown page, not sure which you would want to take as you can take either
TRAVELING SOUTH:
Take the New Jersey Turnpike to Exit 9, follow the signs to Route 18 South. Go six miles to the Englishtown exit. Take Route 527 South five miles. Make a left onto Pension Road (Raceway Park billboard on left). Go 1/4 mile, track entrance on the left.
ALTERNATE ROUTE TRAVELING SOUTH:
Garden State Parkway South to Exit 123 to Route 9 South. Travel Route 9 South for 10 miles to Texas Road. Turn Right onto Texas Road. Go three miles to the traffic light. Make a left onto Route 527 South. Go one mile making a left onto Pension Road. (Raceway Park billboard on left) Go 1/4 mile, track entrance is on the left.
Looks like you could take 84 to 684 to 287 to the parkway

Go 2 lights to old englishtown road make left and the track is about a mile on left....Any questions just ask..Chris

Just a heads up the Garden State Parkway can get busy in the Summer months especially if it is going to be a nice weekend.
You guys will be down early so it should not be a problem, but maybe the Turnpike to Rt18 is a better alternative.

Reading your traffic description reminds me of LA. Leaving LA on Fri night or returning on Sun afternoon is next to impossible for someone like me who has zero patience.

Korreck leave your gun at home because you will kill someone on the GSP for sure. Between the Ricers whipping in and out of 25mph traffic and the City folk in their huge SUVs talking on the cell phone patience is hard to come by.
Early morning it is still moving good. If the weather holds out for both days then Saturday's ride home prior to 5pm is usually good. Last time Mowton and myself stopped at the Portguese rest. and had a bit of a snack which made the ride much easier.
