I recommned avoiding the park that weekend, but if you can't change your plans then it will be best to visit Disneyland on Friday and DCA on Saturday to avoid some crowds at least.

The Long Beach Grand Prix is also the longest running major "street" race held on the North American continent, having completed its 33rd event. Attendance for the weekend regularly reaches or exceeds 200,000 people. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach_Grand_Prix" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L ong_Beach_Grand_Prix</a>

Originally Posted By mater4 I know the race will have it's crowd of people but I was thinking that the race crowd would not affect DL as much on the fri-sun. of race weekend. I have been to many races and it is a morning to early evening event. Very exhausting to say the least. Because of the hours of the park there will definately be more people in the park.
