I was also wanting to hit SEMA in late Oct as well.....decision, decisions....
Transport = 450 miles each way @ 10MPG and $4.5/gal = ~$400 (2x)
Hotel = $80/night = $240 (3x)
Registration = $360 both days
Total = ~$1000
How does one of these events compare to a normal track day? Does the format and overall group of attendees make it worth the cost and a must do?

A grand is average for auto events but it's the stuff you don't expect. Food, extra fuel spent sitting in traffic on the 405, break downs, speeding tickets, Dr visits, ambulance rides and hitch hikers.
