Racing at Del Mar on Monday, September 7, 2026 — Closing Day (Labor Day). First post 1:30 PM PT. EGT flat round trip from anywhere in metro San Diego: $120 BMW i7 (2 passengers) or $200 Escalade IQ-L (up to 5, $40/seat) — admission-gate drop-off, driver staged through the card, no hourly clock. Call (858) 522-0264.
Closing Day falls on Labor Day with a 1:30 PM first post — holiday beach traffic and race traffic share the same exits. Race-day traffic at Del Mar stacks three flows into two exits: racegoers on I-5, beach traffic on Camino del Mar, and Via de la Valle surface congestion. A pre-booked car drops you at the gates and stages nearby — you skip the lot queue both directions.
