I have been to Fairplex/LA County Fair. Its the biggest parking lot(s) I have ever seen in my life. I paid $10 for preferred fair parking and still had to walk nearly 1/2 mile stand in a line of over hundred people.

I was driving from Manhattan Beach to Las Vegas and made an all too unkind pit stop at the fair which took nearly a grand away from my budget.

I have a rule when I go to the Fair ground and that is don't get hungry. The prices will kill you. The parking lot is used for a car show and swap meet 6 times a year and they fill the whole thing, it's quite the sight.

I used to show my horses years ago during the Fair meet, than they took the preferred parking from the Exhibitors and that sealed it for me, way too much hassle to show there having you horse trailer 5 miles away. The races are fun to watch, more because of the diversity of breeds etc.. I cracked up Friday afternoon after the first race when the mule bucked his jockey off after winning his race, the mules do that a lot, I swear they're half broke!!!
