Yep, definitely do your best to find a way to haul the bike there. Anyone with a trailer or truck with room for 2 (or more) bikes will probably be willing to split gas costs. You'll be whupped afterward, and facing a long ride in that condition is no fun. And like Kell mentioned, if you wad your bike, you can't ride it home.
What you need to bring kinda depends on what the organizers are going to provide. At a minimum, I'd suggest bringing water, snacks, a chair, basic tools and some extra gas. There are a ton of other "nice to have" items, but I think that covers the basics.
