Tough justify $500 for the entry and $1300 for tires just to run an OK track. I'd spend it on track days and expenses at Oregon Raceway Park, The Ridge, or T-hill first.

I don't agree with being able to circumvent the 'safety' regulation by using a lower quality date code conforming tire.
$1300 for tires? what tires you looking at?
