my goal as far as the costs invovled would be to keep the total anyone woudl have to spend in the $700ish range, $1000 at most. that would be for gas+ tolls+ hotel+ food+ entry to the event. speeding tickets to and from the event and car prep woudl obviously be additional
that would be figuring for those of us from the central jersey/north philly area taht it would cost a tank of gas each way to travel. it is certainly possible, depending how things work out, that it woudl cost more, but that is the target price range that it appears reasonable to aim for.
