Then drive up to MTH Saturday morning, driving back to AC Saturday evening, then repeating this on Sunday. Then fly back Monday afternoon.
I certainly don't mind driving the 1.5 hours each way as long as it's a fairly straight through drive. I was also looking for tips on what/where to avoid on my drive.
I have never been to MTH and love to go to racetracks I haven't ever been to.
Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

The problem with staying in a hotel/casino is that it's going to be pricey due to it being Memorial day weekend. There is a string of small (some dumpy) hotels on the Black and White horse pike, which is a short drive away. But this all depends if you don't mind staying off the beaten path. I'll admit I have never stayed in any of them, but it might be the way to go if all you plan on doing is crashing there for a few hours. Cab rides back and fourth to these hotels should be reasonable if you plan on partying.
As far as your drive goes, once you are on the GSP you are pretty much committed to whatever you are going to endure. Not sure how the traffic flows that early going south to north. But if it's anything like the traffic north to south, give yourself plenty of time.
