Is there a "money's not an issue" option that some might be interested in?
I prefer to keep my camping to camping trips.

JohnC Wrote:Yes. What are we doing about the camping situation? Reserved up next to the track is $275 - that would be my vote. Split 6 ways thats only $45/each. Rent a minivan or something to get us there?
We need to decide something before tickets go on sale - and designate one person to do the buying as soon as it opens.
+1.
I'll buy the camping ticket - maybe i'll go over and sit down with G when they go on sale and we can pick the money spot.

Yeah, a $300/night hotel room. Have fun with that...

Well, I spent less on the whole vacation (5 days?) than it would cost to get a hotel for 3 nights.
<-- waits for joke about spending 5 days camping with 6 dudes in an RV

4 guys, 4 nights = $300/person
I don't think that's anywhere near outragous. We're all big boys and make big boy money, time to start spending it. I'm not going to argue the financials of it since we obviously have different perspectives of money worth spending... just throwing it out there in case anyone else doesn't mind dropping the coin.

Spending it isnt a problem.... 
That stupid dancing elephant in my garage solves that one easily.

I'm down for camping and doing what I did last year. Karting the drunks back to the track after a night out on Cannery Row so they can stumble back to the campsite, driving back to crash in a friend's hotel room, and then using our vehicle pass to drive them in the next morning.
I'm camping.
So, I was checking out minivan rental prices - ~$350 will rent a van from any of the major companies (with no discounts applied - I know I get one from work, I'm sure many of you guys do too) for Thursday (9/19) through Monday (9/23).
As for airfare - I'm seeing about $350 roundtrip per person to Oakland from Dulles. The times are really shitty though - hopefully they'll list more flights as things get a little closer? Thats using Priceline. I'm sure the "name your own" would knock it down a bit more. Jetblue is only booking out as far as June at this point, so I don't know about that.
Edited because I confused San Diego with San Jose - I really meant Oakland.

Why not fly into LA instead of SD?

Dammit. I was thinking San Jose but typing San Diego... I'm an idiot.

Someone explain to me why you'd fly to Oakland instead of SJ?

FWIW, there's a non-stop from Dulles to SJ for $393 on expedia.

Well we're not staying there so it doesnt matter one bit where we fly into, IMO.
I'd like to wait for the JetBlue bookings to open up, and I just figure we should all get on the same flight again - that worked out really well.

In that case lets fly to Vegas.

...but you can get laid!
I'm prolly out for the same reason as this year anyway. Even if I could adapt to your traveling customs it's very likely I would be getting back from a 2 week vacation only 2 weeks prior.
