Thumbs up Bullrun- Anyone Participating?

So, Bullrun Is Coming up for who knows what that is. If you dont know what that is, It's a cheaper version of the Gumball 3000 which is currently happening on the other side of the pond.
Just curious to see if anyone is going to be participating.
Entry Fee: $20k which includes 5 star hotels, parties at night etc.
I cant wait till i have my own job and to go. It seems so damn awesome.

one thing you might learn after having your own job (how do you pay for such a nice vehicle?) is that $20k for a recreational event is a bit steep.

True. But you gain connections to big people; that 20k is chump change to them. You might even get a job in their company for more pay? who knows. Possibilities are endless, along with the fun you have. And when i say job, i mean after i am done with college and start at 60k/70k a year. And there are a few people who make 200k with the same bachelors degree i am going for (they are at 200k a year after working there for 10 years.) Also, the degree i am going for is Computer Information Systems.

the job market and economy aren't what they were 10 years ago... graduating classes nowadays will be in the fight of a life time trying to find a job that will pay well right out of college.

I would do it if I had 20K to throw away, which if your driving a $250K car that's probably not a problem.
