Well, the guidance is generally accepted as 2 hours to LAX. 85 miles is definitely pushing it. I live north, about 45 miles, and that's about right I think. For me, it's an hour to sometimes 2+, and I don't sit reserve. Traffic in LA is unpredictable at best. You could probably pull it off based on the time if day, but I wouldn't challenge rush hour or Fridays. Fridays on the highways in LA are hell.
Plus, remember it's seasonal, but you have to cover SNA and ONT as well.
