We too are staying in Fenton, but Im wondering about leaving FROM the raceway in the late afternoon/evening to get to Fenton? What about rush hour going westbound to Fenton? What is the best time to go to avoid the rush hour traffic? What might be the best route to go? Thanks!
Timing is everything though. Like any other metro area, hours from 4-6 are the heaviest.

Always appreciate the heads up.
I have family that lives in one of the nicer suburbs, and they were like "You recall National Lampoon's family Vacation? Well, keep that in mind when visiting, have fun!".

A bit of advice regarding the Madison, IL stop:
I am a St. Louis native, so I’m speaking from experience when STRONGLY recommending that you arrange for your accommodations on the west (Missouri) side of the Mississippi. Furthermore, your best bet is to get beyond city limits.
Traffic across the bridges is a mess during rush hour. You don’t want to get caught in with all the metro east commuters. Traveling across the Popular Street Bridge can be a white knuckle experience under the best of conditions. Signage is confusing for out of towners, and the I-55/I-44 off ramp can be treacherous.
I’ll be staying in the Fenton area off I-44. Besides putting me outside the morning rush, it also gives a head start on what is sure to be a very long day traveling to Miami, OK.Last edited by TopBananaSixPack; January 9, 2012, 11:04 AM.Tags: None
