Atlantic City is exit 38 and Monmouth Park is exit 105. It's about a 90 minute ride without any traffic disasters. Let me know where you are starting from and when and maybe I could give you an idea about a hotel.

Sure, I know AC and MTH are about 80+ miles apart.

I live in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area, was considering flying into Atl. City Airport Friday evening via Spirit Air ( $199 RT ), and playing poker, etc in AC Friday Night ( Borgata ). 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.
