How much $$ to survive the weekend
how much money do you people think we should bring to get us throught the weekend... excluding the travel costs
$200
if you want over kill
$20 a night at the sight and people can double up so it's even less.
$30 for booze for the weekend
$30 for food depending on if you plan to cook or not (I do)
track time.....don't know what that is.....
gas.....
T-shirts.....if we get them
entry fee for the car show ($5 maybe) (plaque money)
people who don't have tents and grills, that can get expensive
$40 for a tent $20 for a grill (if the sight don't have one), coolers...etc
fire wood $5 bucks a bundle, and you need a ton of them to keep a fire going all night (I know I will be heading into the woods for more fire wood later in the night)
money for vendors....
I've done bike rallys and you can blow $200 in that one weekend.
it's not hard, people tend to spend more when it'sa "road trip" or rally type thing.

if i can get off both days (Sat. and Sun) i will have 75 bucks to blow..
For Sat: food about 10 bucks, gas fill up about 10 bucks... I most likely will come to the show/hang out and then leave and go home then come back again on Sunday and watch racing / maybe even race..
For Sunday: more food 10 bucks, how much racing cost..
and the rest just in case i feel like buying something...

yea, its hard to say how much you will need. I went to a big dogs production and spent 325. We camp and cooked on the grill, but after buying shirts and booze and all the other goodies, we spent a little more than planned. But I always bring extra for thoose un-thoght of expenses. If you stick to your budget and dont blow your $$ you can get away cheap. But always have a reserve for that unthinkable break down.
It is better to plan on more than not have enough:
Just my .02 worth.

200$ isnt bad at all....I used to blow near 400$ a weekend at paintball tournaments. We didnt have to pay for rooms or entry fee either...that was gas/food/paint money. I usually shoot 6 cases a tourney at 60-80$ a case....can we say OUCH!
But my team was badass...if you happen to have the Aug 02 edition of paintball games international check page 114
My team has a picture in the top right corner...im the young one.

i've blown $200-$250 on bike rally weekend. sometimes more.....
Hope everyone's got a credit card or planning on bringing extra cash in case of an emergency.. **** happens, especially on road trips. Engines blow up, tie rods snap, hoses burst, belts break, tires go flat. I'd be amazed if only 3 people break down on the way. Let's face it our cars are old, no matter what's new that we've put on em, something is liable to go wrong on a long trip like that. I hope anyone planning to cruise out there alone has a cell phone, I don't want to hear about anyone getting stranded in the middle of nowhere. Play it safe.

i highly doubt that i will be around any minors that are drinking after being arrested for conrtibuting to a minor last weekend.. me and 4 friends were drinking (i was the only one over 21 they were all 18-19).. well a couple hrs go by and a cop rolls up.. he smells alchy on 2 of my friends breath and i got arrested.. something to think about..................................
but, taking there keys away and making them play drinking games does sound fun.....

as long as everyone is cool and there no trouble, party on.. there should be enough ppl there "of age" that something like that shouldnt matter.. it would be more on the minors that get cought.. if ur under age, loose ur id and keys and ull be fine (glove box, er um center console is a perfect place for them. just dont lock ur doors)..

Hey I'm 17 and plan on being there, I'll watch everyone's keys! In PA, if you are caught drinking as a minor, your license gets suspended for 90 days. Might be something to think about even though laws vary from state to state.

Anyway, what other stuff do you guys see us having to bring money for?......Any local clubs/areas to hang out and cruise nearby......?...

i think i forgot what a smokey building looked like, as they banned smoking in ALL public buildings in cali.. and if ur a minor that gets caught drinking and driving here its 5 YEARS suspended liscense and i think ur not allowed to drink AT ALL for a certin time period (.01 is really easy to get to too (dui limit for 20 and under in cali))..
anyways.. things are looking good for me as getting the money to go.. informed my ppl (if uve read my post bout easter in th racing forums ull know who im talking bout) that ill be out of state for the month of june.. hopefully nothing happens with that, that makes me stay in fresno county.. which i highly doubt will happen..
