Ok, so I'm sick of having to look at other people's pictures and hearing all about the shootout. I want to go! I've already OK'd it with the will-be wifey 
and she doesn't care so I'm golden. Now what I want to do is find others who would be interested in taking the ride out there with me. The more the merrier (and cheaper)
Hotel: Places seem to run about $150 a night so 2-3 nights would be 300-450 divided by however many people in the room. (I know a bunch of people that stay at the amerihost, so it would be my first choice but obviously it's not set in stone)
Gas: I have no qualms about driving the evo (even though it's not the best on gas) It's reliable and can fit 4 comfortably. Total gas cost for the trip should be in the neighborhood of $180 round trip assuming 1000 miles driving, 22mpg and $4/gallon gas
Food/beer: I can't figure it out for you some of you guys can drink a lot more than me
I'm thinking for myself $100-$200 max.
In total I'm thinking the trip can cost about $350/person for two people, less if you get more than 2 to a hotel room.
