If you leave San Jose at 7AM, it will take you at least 7-8 hours to get to LA assuming there is no traffic... but on a Friday, once you get into Ventura County you are guaranteed to hit traffic all the way from Ventura to San Bernadino, a stretch of about 150 miles.
I high recommend you to take the I-5 to get down here as fast as possible. The stretch of drive between the San Fernando Valley and where Speedzone is takes about 1-2 hours in traffic, if you are lucky. If you are late, and you miss dinner, I won't be able to refund your money...

Just FYI, some of the worst freeways to be on during Friday afternoon/evenings are:
110
101
10
5
60
605
710
405

do not take highway 101, leaving santa paula (ventura county). it took me about 4 hours to get past hollywood. do so via the 5 fwy if possible. I've encountered traffic where I went less than 10 miles in about 1 hour or more. (on 101).
