There's no way you can make it, huh?

I think I'm gonna take off Friday and Monday, so I don't have to hurry home. You know, the good old..."I'm not gonna go to work anymore" deal...
I could pull it off potentially if I took a half day friday and monday or something... but the big problem is the cost:

$395 entry fee
$25 late entry fee
$40 Audi Club membership
$125 Estimated 5 tanks of gas for the weekend
$30 splitting a hotel room w/ you for a 1 night (spend Friday and Sunday nights at my parents if possible)
$70 four wheel alignment
= $685 plus all the random misc expenses for a weekend out of town, and the heat I'd take at work for missing another 8 hours.

The real kicker is that that list reads like a MasterCard commercial, and should be followed with:

"A weekend of track time and driving instruction at the greatest race track in the world in a kick-ass subaru: priceless."

But at this point, I'm not even sure if I'd be able to get my membership and entry fees all squared away in time, even if I scraped together the money. I wonder if I called the guy running the event if I could get my memebership expidited or something.

Ugh, I *really* want to go... *really*. I guess if I could put the entry fee on my credit card, I'd be able to go, but I really loath using my card, since I'm working so hard to pay it off... Dammit! Why'd they have to cancel Pahrump!!?
