Total: $245
Then you have the trackday on the Friday before. Figure that is about $140.
Now you're up to $385
So assuming you run a half decent pace you will burn through minimum 1 set of tires at $385 a set. Let's assume you have some take offs for the trackday and the cycle continues for the next weekend so you only spend money on an additional 1/2 set.
New total is $962
Now you gotta sleep somewhere and generally camping isn't for everyone. Let's also assume you race with a friend and split a hotel for Thurs. Fri. Sat. at $90 a night.
New total is $1,097
But you have to eat right? So let's say you don't eat a lot so you only spend about $15 a day which is possible but tough to do with a group of friends. Plus you gotta have beer right? Let's say $25 a day.
New total is $1,172
Then you have gas. Figure you split with you buddy on driving down so each spends about $80. Then you need to fill your bike everyday. So figure $20 a day for the bike which is $60.
New total is $1,312
So there you have it. And that is being a bit conservative because track distances vary and you may spend more on misc. stuff.

Ant.. the accountant in you will never go away!
You could also just race Enduro's
Entry fee.. = 5 or 6 hours of racing - $40/$45
Gas for Bike - $20/$30
Gas for car/truck - $80/$100
Tires - $120/$140 a set(you get at least 4 races out of them) so divided by 4 = $30 a day
Food - I like to eat a lot so say $40/day
So say $210 a weekend if you drive by yourself and go down to the race the morning of...
Ask gallo... he'll tell ya!
